This session is part of an ongoing series of conferences that examine the role of nuclear energy as an option to meet urgent climate and energy needs. In this program, several panels of experts offered analyses of the economics of nuclear power as well as discussed issues with financing a fleet of new reactors. A final panel commented on the potential to scale some of the inputs necessary to support an expansion of nuclear power: human capital and the nuclear supply chain.
