Nuclear Energy Working Group
With rapidly evolving technology, shifts in energy policy and the regulatory framework, and more favorable economics we're aiming to understand how small-scale nuclear power could fit into the energy landscape for Alaska, and whether the time is right.
The Alaska Nuclear Energy Working Group is an informal group of stakeholders interested in following developments related to small nuclear energy technologies, and in providing input related to any proposed future deployment in the state. ACEP plans to host regular meetings of the working group, which will include presentations from industry and other stakeholder groups. The working group will also be called upon to provide input on future studies, as well as the development of a state roadmap.

ACEP and the Alaska Northern Environmental Center hosted a town hall meeting in September, 2022 that featured a presentation by ACEP’s founding director Gwen Holdmann, now the UAF associate vice chancellor of research, innovation and industry partnerships. It was attended by at least 140 local residents interested in the energy source and the maturity of the technology.
