Nuclear Renaissance
An AI & Nuclear Summit exploring the convergence that will redefine allied strength.
The perfect storm is here: AI systems consuming more electricity than entire countries, while China builds 30 nuclear reactors and democratic allies debate energy security. This summit brings together Idaho National Lab leadership, Silicon Valley's hyperscale tech companies, nuclear innovation pioneers, and the investors scaling clean energy to explore how the convergence of artificial intelligence and nuclear power will reshape both energy security and allied competitiveness.
*What We'll Explore (subject to change)
⚡ AI + Nuclear: Powering Allied Future Fireside Chat with Idaho National Lab Director Chris Ritter and Seth Berl, Intel CTO Govt, on the strategic convergence of artificial intelligence and nuclear energy—from AI-designed reactors to nuclear-powered data centers, exploring how these technologies together redefine democratic nations' power and energy independence.
🔋 Nuclear & Clean Energy for AI A conversation with nuclear innovation leaders on how clean, reliable nuclear power can fuel AI's massive energy demands while strengthening allied energy resilience and shared competitive position against authoritarian competitors.
🚀 AI Accelerating Nuclear Innovation Nolan Carroll (AtomsNotBits) leads discussions on how artificial intelligence is driving faster, safer, and more scalable innovation across allied nuclear enterprises—from reactor design to safety analysis to supply chain optimization, with emphasis on allied cooperation and knowledge sharing.
📖 Rewriting Nuclear's Story Nick Trimmer (Delta Studio) explores how narrative and storytelling can reshape democratic societies' relationship with nuclear energy—shifting from fear and stigma to strength, innovation, and possibility for the next generation of allied energy security.
⚔️ Nuclear Energy & Allied Security Debate Josh Zoffer (Clocktower Ventures) moderates the hard question: "Democratic Allies Can't Win Without Nuclear Energy and We're Not Ready"—examining whether allied nuclear enterprises can truly support victory in major power conflict and sustained competition.
