The event draws representatives from the Tennessee Valley Authority, the U.S. Department of Energy and its contractors, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Y-12 Nuclear Security Complex, United Cleanup of Oak Ridge (UCOR), and Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), as well as a wide range of private-industry companies. Attendees have an unparalleled opportunity to learn, promote, network and discuss the future of the nuclear energy industry.
“Tennessee is one of the most forward-thinking and active supporters of the United States nuclear energy industry,” said Christo Liebenberg, Chief Executive Officer of LIS Technologies Inc. “In addition to hosting numerous national laboratories, Tennessee’s leadership has demonstrated a strong commitment to policies that promote the expansion of nuclear energy as a vital component of a diversified and sustainable energy portfolio. The Nuclear Opportunities Workshop is a prime example of such initiatives. This event will help shape the future of the nuclear industry and many others. It is a pleasure to participate and engage in discussions about the innovative applications of nuclear technology.”
Tennessee has a rich history with nuclear energy, deeply intertwined with the development of nuclear technology in the United States. As the U.S. nuclear energy industry gains momentum, the state has seen a resurgence of interest in advancing nuclear technologies and capabilities. Additionally, the state places a strong emphasis on developing a skilled workforce for the nuclear industry and has strong advocates in U.S. Congressman Chuck Fleischmann along with Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee. Most recently, Governor Lee signed an Executive Order to create a Tennessee Nuclear Energy Advisory Council.
