TNNS America

The New Nuclear Summit: North America 2026 brings together the pioneering forces behind Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), advanced nuclear technologies, and AI-powered infrastructure to define the roadmap for the next generation of clean, scalable power. Building on the momentum of the London summit, this regional edition focuses on the unique deployment, regulatory, and market dynamics across the United States and Canada—two countries at the center of both global SMR innovation and the AI compute explosion.

As AI adoption accelerates, hyperscalers, data center operators, and heavy industry are all confronting the same challenge: how to secure abundant, reliable, carbon-free power. This summit convenes nuclear developers, digital infrastructure leaders, regulators, utilities, investors, and technology innovators to answer that call. Whether you're building the next reactor fleet or planning 5GW of AI-powered compute, this is where nuclear meets the future of energy demand.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

• Accelerate SMR deployment for digital and industrial infrastructure: Highlight real-world deployment models, siting pathways, and licensing progress across North America.

• Connect nuclear innovation with AI and data center expansion: Explore how SMRs can power hyperscalers, enable e-fuels and hydrogen, and meet new industrial demands.

• Showcase leading reactor technologies and delivery strategies: Bring clarity to competing technologies (PWR, BWR, HTGR, microreactors) and share deployment progress.

• Align public and private sector financing and procurement models: Define new routes for funding, offtake, and ownership—beyond traditional utilities.

• Shape the regulatory and permitting environment for the 2030s: Discuss best practices across US, Canada, and international regulators for licensing and approvals.

• Unlock the role of AI in nuclear innovation: Demonstrate how AI can enhance reactor design, licensing, siting, safety, and operations.
