Atomic energy technology, politics, and perceptions from a nuclear energy insider who served as a US nuclear submarine engineer officer

Second Annual Nuclear Construction Summit – Organized by Nuclear Energy Insider

August 24, 2010 By Rod Adams

The second annual Nuclear Construction Summit will be held in Charlotte, NC on October 25-26, 2010. The meeting will include talks from leading figures associated with designing, licensing and building new nuclear power plants. The tentative speaker line up includes Ellen Ruff of Duke Energy, David Matthews of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Jeff Merrifield of Shaw Power Group, Jim Moody of General Dynamics Electric Boat, Michael McGough of Unistar, Mark Campagna of Hyperion Power Generation, Cheri Diane Collins of Southern Company, Tom Sanders of the American Nuclear Society, Ashok Bhatnagar of Tennessee Valley Authority and many more.

The organizers at Nuclear Energy Insider are predicting that there will be more than 300 executives and senior managers associated with building new nuclear plants at the meeting. If you register by Friday, August 27, 2010, you will be eligible for a $400 Super Early Bird discount.

Atomic Insights is planning to cover the meeting and to participate as a media partner. I hope to see you there. I am looking forward to a trip to Charlotte, a place that is shaping up to be a hub of activity for nuclear power plant engineering, design and business headquarters.

Update: (Posted on August 23, 2010 at 1106) Thanks to a prompt suggestion from a commenter, Nuclear Energy Insider has agreed to extend a special conference discount to people who sign up based on reading about the meeting here at Atomic Insights. When you register, please use the code ATOMIC200.

Isn’t the interactive media capability available today a wonderful thing? Based on a comment on an interactive blog, a publisher was able to contact the conference sponsor, obtain a conference discount code and provide a useful response. Though there are never any guarantees of being able to accomplish something this quickly, the whole process between blog post, comment and valuable response took place in less than two hours.

    Rod, will the “Atomic” discount code be in effect again this year? I just missed it by two days or so last year.
    I assume it is not, since you didn’t mention it. But for $200, I’m certainly cheap enough to ask.

    On the strength shown in the speed at which Atomic Insights was able to negotiate a conference discount code I would like to know if Atomic Insights would be willing to consider spearheading Yottawatts from Thorium’s next small modular reactor certification process with the NRC?

    And yes, it does work with the Early Bird Special too.
