About this event

As the world needs to decarbonize, increase electricity production and address energy security concerns, nuclear energy appears as one of the critical solutions.

France, a global leader in nuclear technology, recently cohosted, along with the IAEA, a nuclear summit to rally support for nuclear as a cornerstone of the energy transition. With decades of experience, France not only secures low-carbon energy for for the sustainable growth of its economy, but also powers its ambition in the AI revolution—providing the reliable, high-capacity electricity needed to fuel data centers and technological innovation.

The United States faces a pivotal moment as it is trying to revitalize its nuclear sector to ensure energy independence. In California, while the state has banned new nuclear fission plants, it remains a pioneer in fusion research, home to groundbreaking initiatives. What lessons can the U.S., California and France share to accelerate progress?

This event brings together policymakers, scientists, and industry leaders to explore nuclear energy’s role in the clean energy transition—addressing challenges like safety, waste, public perception, and the race to deploy next-generation technologies.

Speakers:

Sunil Felix, Nuclear Counsellor, French Embassy in the United States

Amine Benssy, Innovation & Energy Markets Team Manager, EDF Innovation Lab

Max Monange, Head of EX-Fusion America, Reactor Systems Lead

Félicie Albert, Director, Jupiter Laser Facility, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
