Join us for the first ever ClimateWeek NYC event dedicated to nuclear microreactors!
These tiny reactors, small enough to fit in a shipping container, can each power up to five thousand homes—with zero-carbon emissions. The science is proven, but theory will take us only so far. Startups are now racing to demonstrate their first-of-a-kind. Buzz is building.
At 7pm, a short presentation will introduce newcomers to key concepts and engage professionals in lively debate. Light food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available. Views of the Highline at sunset are set to stun.
