Guests will also hear from Gordon L. Gillette, President, Tampa Electric & Peoples Gas, and Jon Wellinghoff, Chairman of the Federal Regulatory Commission. All three keynote speakers will address the challenges that lie ahead for the power generation industry.

The conference program also includes four mega sessions covering various issues currently facing the nuclear power industry, including a major U.S. nuclear projects update, a discussion of nuclear power strategies in the post-Fukushima era, and a look at emerging nuclear power programs globally.

Additionally, a mega session titled "Keeping Up with Demand: Building the Nuclear Supply Chain" will focus on all nuclear supply chain issues, such as the steps to become a qualified supplier, including testimonials from suppliers who have made the transition to nuclear. This session will also provide experiences from a buyer's vantage point on the best ways to find and verify suppliers, complete with a workshop for aspiring suppliers.

In addition to the world-class conference content, NUCLEAR POWER International is once again co-located with POWER-GEN International, the largest power generation exhibition in the world, providing attendees the opportunity to network with over 20,000 individuals working in the power generation industry.
