Speaker: Dale Lloyd, Southern Nuclear - Plant Vogtle Deployment Director
Topic: Resurgence of Nuclear Power in the Southeast
By some accounts, it is projected that by 2030, 40 percent of the United States population will live in the Southeast, which will create greater demand on our region’s present power generation system. As concerns about the environment increase, nuclear power is considered to be a viable option to meet growing demand while being more environmentally conscious.
Come and learn more about nuclear power and socialize with Georgia Tech Alumni and friends
