Science at the Edge: Next Generation Nuclear

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Webinar 12:00-1:00 p.m. MDT

Free RSVP

Nuclear energy is back in the conversation. A new state-of-the-art reactor just broke ground in Wyoming. Colorado has added nuclear to its options for meeting its emissions goals. And a new generation of nuclear technology promises safer, cleaner, and more flexible power that can operate in more places. But economic, regulatory, and waste disposal are still hurdles for the new wave of nuclear power.  

In a new webinar in our Science at the Edge series, we will speak to Jessica Lovering, a nuclear policy researcher and Co-Founder of the Good Energy Collective, and Christine King, Director of the Gateway for Acceleration in Nuclear initiative (GAIN) at Idaho National Laboratory, about what makes this next generation of nuclear technology different, what is still unknown, and what it means for our energy future in Colorado and beyond.
