Achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 will require large scale deployment of all low carbon energy sources, including nuclear power. Various studies confirm that nuclear power has a significant role to play in combating climate change and meeting increasing energy demand worldwide, but this will require that nuclear power plants be deployed at a larger scale than is currently the case. The international deployment of floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) offers new opportunities but also presents challenges, including the evaluation of international and national legal issues and institutional aspects. Terra Praxis' Co-CEO, Kirsty Gogan, was invited to give remarks and moderate the opening session on: The Emerging Potential of Floating Nuclear Power Plants.
