Nuclear energy is positioned as the defining clean energy solution of this century. Yet the industry's greatest constraint isn't technology, permitting, or capital - it's people. Workforce is the variable that will determine whether deployment timelines are met or missed, and whether the nuclear renaissance is real or rhetorical.

Here is the hard truth: the nuclear industry is still reacting to workforce challenges that were predictable 20 years ago. We have reports. We have roundtables and task forces. We have strategy documents. What we don't have is action at the scale and speed the moment demands.

Compounding the urgency, AI and technological advancement are reshaping what nuclear work looks like faster than workforce strategies are adapting. The question is no longer just how many people we need. It's what skills, at what time, and whether the people entering the pipeline are being prepared for the industry that will exist, not the one we planned for.

Drawing on global workforce experience across conventional, advanced, and new nuclear programs, this session delivers a practical framework for turning workforce risk into executable strategy, covering talent pipeline development, competency transfer across generations, workforce sizing aligned to project schedules, and building adaptability into workforce planning as technology continues to evolve.

Attendees leave with a diagnostic lens, direct challenges to assumptions slowing progress, and concrete next steps they can act on immediately.

The workforce gap doesn't close with another conversation. It closes with action, starting now.
