Description
GAIN and ANS Young Members Group are pleased to invite you to discuss the feasibility study highlighting SMRs and Microreactors for Puerto Rico. This study represents a first-of-a- kind collaborative effort – led by Puerto Rican engineers in the nuclear industry, supported by nuclear developers and national labs. This effort highlights the feasibility of next-generation nuclear reactors in response to Puerto Rico's pressing energy needs and legislative interest - House Resolution 1189.
This study was led by The Nuclear Alternative Project (NAP), a non-profit formed by Puerto Rican engineers in the U.S. nuclear industry and involved a team of more than 20 consultants and industry advisors.
In this webinar, Eddie Guerra, Luis Reyes, and Ivan Lugo will present the study’s key findings with a special focus on applications for Puerto Rico’s manufacturing sector and critical infrastructure needs.
Speakers:
- Luis Reyes, Chair Advisory Board for The Nuclear Alternative Project, Former U.S. NRC Executive Director for Operations
- Eddie Guerra, Senior Engineer for Arup, Co-Founder of The Nuclear Alternative Project
- Ivan Lugo, Executive Director, Industry-University Research Center
- Shannon Bragg-Sitton, National Technical Director, Integrated Energy Systems, Idaho National Laboratory
Moderator: Harsh S. Desai, Nuclear Energy Institute and ANS Young Members Group
