In a free public seminar at 3:30 PM on October 8, in room 1115 of the Wisconsin Energy Institute, Engineering Physics Professor Todd Allen will discuss the changing innovation landscape of nuclear energy technology.

Abstract: An interesting new narrative has arisen around the need for nuclear energy and how an emerging set of privately funded companies are attempting to take a new set of nuclear energy products to commercialization.  This presentation will describe the energy system trends driving this innovation, how the federal government is creating or adjusting their programs to support innovation, and how the language we use for describing nuclear energy needs to change to support innovation.
