Description

Scaling nuclear isn’t a technology problem—it’s a capital problem. This session examines the real bottlenecks: rate-basing risk, investor hesitation, and the gap between public ambition and private financing. Panelists will explore emerging models—from state-backed guarantees to blended public-private capital stacks—and what it will take to unlock trillions in infrastructure investment before the grid hits a breaking point.
