I’m very excited to be speaking about the legal framework for small modular reactors today at the NRECA’s 66th annual legal seminar. Electric cooperatives are tackling rising energy demand and increasingly addressing whether small modular reactors can be part of the solution. Let’s get into the big questions! #nuclear #advancedreactors #nuclearlaw

Every two weeks I write Global Signals, an intelligence brief on where science, technology, and diplomacy converge and what it means in practice for diplomats, researchers, industry leaders, and investors. The news will tell you what happened this month. The brief exists for what comes next: which government moves first, which program turns into funding, which milestone quietly becomes a market. Issue 14 closes with the watchlist I am tracking through the end of the year, and every signal ends with clear next steps for the people doing this work. I am opening membership to founding readers. Founding readers get every issue as it publishes, before it's shared anywhere else. If your work touches this intersection, join here: https://lnkd.in/g_r9gqTU. And if one person in your network comes to mind, this is for them.

Which of the four advanced reactors that just went critical will be first to apply for grid connection? When does the first credentialed semiconductor shipment move through Panama? Which Indo-Pacific government is first to nominate an SMR deployment under the new trilateral framework? These are the questions Global Signals is tracking. Every two weeks the brief follows where science, technology, and diplomacy converge and closes each signal with what science attachés, research institutions, industry leaders, and investors should watch next. Issue 14, The Execution Layer, is out now. Global Signals is a membership brief.

Mammoet recently rotated sector three of the Vacuum Vessel at ITER Organization - positioning it to allow preparations to begin earlier and accelerate its assembly. The nearly 400t component is one of nine segments that will come together to form the sealed structure in which fusion reactions will occur at the site. It was rotated using a combined gantry, skidding and strand jack system, over the course of 13 hours. #Mammoet #Nuclear #Fusion

Across the U.S., national laboratories lead SMR siting announcements with 7, followed by a three-way tie among utilities, universities, and SMR developers at 5 each. The pipeline is diversifying beyond traditional players. Our infographic maps the full global landscape across 24 countries. 🔗 See who's building and where: https://lnkd.in/dNanRu8T #Nuclear #SMR #Utilities #GridModernization

The Global Microchip Sovereign War The Event:** Taiwan and South Korea signed a historic AI-hardware non-aggression pact, standardizing the global supply chain of sub-2nm nodes. The Logic:** Hardware supremacy is the new nuclear deterrent. Standardizing chip nodes prevents single-nation monopolies and protects global tech infrastructures from sudden regional conflicts.

One of ICT’s priorities is helping consumers understand the language behind the debate. “Nuclear verdict” is not just an industry phrase. It describes exceptionally large jury awards that can influence pricing, availability, and long-term system stability. Helping define the issue is part of helping members engage more effectively in the conversation.
