The Nuclear Salon hosts a series of private, invite-only gatherings throughout the year. Each session is designed to support meaningful progress on the technical, commercial and policy challenges shaping nuclear deployment.
Gatherings are small, off record and focused on depth. Participants engage in discussions that reflect the realities of modern nuclear development, including project execution, capital formation, supply chain readiness, industrial demand and long-term energy strategy.

Powering AI Infrastructure: Capital, Nuclear, and Deployment
Co-hosted with
Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)
Location: San Francisco, California
Date: June 3, 2026
As AI-driven demand accelerates, the conversation is rapidly shifting from compute availability to power availability. The next phase of AI infrastructure buildout will require not only technological advancement, but also new approaches to energy deployment, financing, and industrial execution.
This invitation-only Nuclear Salon will convene a small group of senior leaders across nuclear energy, infrastructure capital, AI, industrial systems, and deployment to discuss the realities of scaling reliable power in the age of AI infrastructure.
Held under Chatham House rules, the discussion will focus on:
Capital pathways for advanced nuclear deployment
The evolving relationship between hyperscale compute demand and energy infrastructure
Deployment bottlenecks across permitting, supply chain, workforce, and project execution
The role of infrastructure investors, strategic capital, and demand-side participants in accelerating buildout
What it will take to move from first-of-a-kind projects to repeatable deployment at scale
The salon format is designed for candid, cross-sector dialogue among a carefully curated group of operators, builders, investors, and infrastructure leaders.
Participation is by invitation.

Themes evolve based on industry needs and emerging challenges.
Gatherings are limited in size to ensure productive dialogue and a high level of relevance among participants. Invitations are extended to leaders who have direct responsibility for advancing nuclear deployment across their organizations.
If your organization plays a strategic role in nuclear energy, you may request an invitation to a future gathering.
