Description

Building on the momentum from successful meetings in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Paducah, Kentucky, the Energy Communities Alliance (ECA) is excited to announce it will host its third ECA Forum on Hosting New Nuclear Development in Richland, Washington, May 7-10, 2024. 

The meeting is part of ECA’s New Nuclear Initiative to define the role of local governments in supporting the development of the new nuclear technologies, and answer three core questions: 

•What do communities need to know to attract and support new nuclear development/missions? 

•How can communities support industry, national laboratories, state, and federal governments and how should they communicate about local resources and development opportunities? 

•What hurdles and challenges will communities face – along with industry and developers – and who can we work with to overcome them? 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COMING SOON
