SMR & Advanced Reactor 2024

Join PTAG in Atlanta for the SMR & ADVANCED REACTOR 2024 Conference

PTAG’s Michael Dubreuil, Michael McBean and Andrew Dewey will be participating in the SMR conference May 1-2, 2024, in Atlanta, USA.

Over the span of two days, we look forward to gaining crucial insights into overcoming barriers in the supply chain, resource allocation, financing, regulatory compliance, and licensing. This gathering presents a prime platform to kickstart the deployment of SMR & AR technologies, leveraging collaborative momentum to propel us toward the realization of commercial-scale new nuclear projects.

By 2030, the market valuation of SMR & AR technologies is poised to reach $18.8 billion, bringing deployment tantalizingly close. With the first contract already secured, the onus now falls on the next generation of SMR & AR leaders to clinch subsequent contracts, swiftly follow suit, and capitalize on the burgeoning nuclear landscape.

In the context of pressing decarbonization targets and the imperative of energy security, collaboration is paramount from executive suites to project teams. No single government, organization, or enterprise can seize this opportunity in isolation. Reuters Events: SMR & Advanced Reactor 2024 serves as the nexus where over 600 nuclear innovators, spanning utilities, investors, reactor developers, technology firms, and regulators, converge to unlock the vast potential of this multi-billion-dollar industry.

Waste Management Symposia 2024 Conference

Representatives from PTAG’s Houston and Toronto teams (Michael McBean & Andrew Grant) will be participating in the Waste Management WM2024 Symposia Conference, March 10-14, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona.

We are looking forward to participating in this leading global conference on radioactive waste management and associated subjects. We will join nearly 3,000 attendees from more than 30 countries to discuss and share ideas on many topics including: robotic handling, remote systems, new technologies, radioactive and hazardous waste characterization, treatment storage, packaging, transportation, and disposal, engineering design and construction, environmental laboratories, decontamination, decommissioning, and environmental remediation – as well as emerging topics such as small modular reactors, and clean energy.

Collaborative contracting for Small Modular Reactors Webinar Recap- October 25, 2023

The world will increasingly rely on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to meet its emission reduction targets as it transitions its sources of energy generation. Compared to other generation alternatives, SMRs provide a safer, more reliable, economical, and environmentally responsible alternative for energy generation to supply industry and society.

In this webinar PTAG’s Michael Dubreuil and Bruce Burwell along their CII colleagues presented an update on how Industrial IPD (I2PD) and CII Best Practices are supporting early first-mover SMR projects in both the United States and Canada with growing international interest.

The following topics were discussed in this webinar:

  • The projected SMR market demand
  • Early adopters of Industrial IPD for SMRs
  • What are the key features and benefits of Industrial IPD
  • Several CII Best Practices that will help facilitate industry readiness

For those who missed the live event or wished to revisit the valuable discussions, we have uploaded the full webinar recap video.

This is the recap video recording of the webinar, which was originally recorded on October 25, 2023

Free Webinar with a Power Sector Focus: Collaborative Contracting for Small Modular Reactors

The world will increasingly rely on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to meet its emission reduction targets as it transitions its sources of energy generation. Compared to other generation alternatives, SMRs provide a safer, more reliable, economical, and environmentally responsible alternative for energy generation to supply industry and society.

With the planned pace of energy transition, realizing the potential of SMRs to help meet global emissions targets will require intense cooperation and collaboration amongst stakeholders, that includes: Governments, Regulators, Local Communities, Financial Community, SMR Technology Providers, Electrical Generation Utilities, Industrial Owners, Supply Chains, Project Managers, Engineers, and Constructors.

CII’s groundbreaking research was developed and published in partnership with industry and academia – “Integrated Project Delivery for Industrial Projects” in August of 2018. Known as Industrial IPD this innovative approach to project delivery for industrial projects has been shown to significantly improve design optimization and reduce construction risks by fostering trust, transparency, and alignment between project key stakeholders. Industrial IPD has been shown to reduce risks, costs, schedules and delays while increasing safety, quality, innovation, and value. Industrial IPD uses many of CII’s Best Practices as part of its Framework approach to setting projects up for success.

Join PTAG’s Michael Dubreuil and Bruce Burwell along their CII colleagues as they present an update on how Industrial IPD and CII Best Practices are supporting early first-mover SMR projects in both the United States and Canada with growing international interest.
