Panel discussion: Nuclear energy in aviation applications

17 Mar 2026
Room 9
Day 1 - Future airports and innovation
Remember your chemistry class? Nuclear energy is a clean and sustainable energy source that generates much-needed power. But how can we use it at airports? Come learn about nuclear fission, how other industries use it, how it can be applied at airports, what funding/P3 opportunities to deploy, and get your questions answered!
  • Learn about nuclear energy, which is foreign to most people
  • Learn about small modular reactors (SMRs)
  • Learn from other industries and apply it to the aviation/airport industry
  • For electric vehicles/equipment/aircraft to be sustainable and green, the power they source must be clean too
  • Big power needs require big bold ideas
