A new era for nuclear energy with the International Energy Agency’s Fatih Birol

On Thursday, February 6 at 16:00 p.m. CET / 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council will host an #ACFrontPage conversation featuring IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol on the role of nuclear energy in the future. 

As the United States looks to expand its nuclear energy capacity to address energy security concerns and meet growing power demands, innovative policies that secure US leadership in the export market and address the current deployment challenges will be crucial. 

Following the release of the IEA’s new report – The Path to a New Era for Nuclear Energy – Birol will share his insights on the global nuclear energy ecosystem and outline the crucial elements needed for nuclear power to play a larger role in the future energy landscape. He will also discuss, in conversation with Atlantic Council President and CEO Frederick Kempe, the role of nuclear energy in supporting domestic energy production in the United States and in achieving the energy goals of the new US Congress and administration.  

This edition of #ACFrontPage, hosted by the Global Energy Center, will be livestreamed on Atlantic Council TV, YouTube, X, and Facebook. To join virtually, please complete the registration form.
