Taking place in the Energy Capital of the World – Houston – the Summit has become the largest event dedicated to nuclear policy in Texas, and this year included insights from over 80 distinguished speakers, including U.S. Department of Energy Under Secretary of Energy Kyle Haustveit, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Commissioner Matthew J. Marzano, State Representative Cody Harris, State Representative Greg Bonnen, Texas Public Utility Commission Chairman Thomas Gleeson, Arnold Ventures Co-founder and Co-chair John Arnold, Nuclear Energy Institute President and Chief Executive Officer Maria Korsnick, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Assistant Vice President Garrett Golding, Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office Director Jarred Shaffer, as well as expert panels and fireside chats with seasoned industry experts and top nuclear innovators discussing the industry’s most pressing issues.

“We are in awe of what the Texas Nuclear Summit has become in three short years,” said Reed Clay, President of TNA. “What started as a conversation among a few believers has grown into the premier gathering for anyone serious about nuclear energy’s future in Texas, and in the United States.”

“Policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and workforce partners now come here to discuss how states can compete for and support an industry determined to write nuclear’s future now,” continued Clay. “Texas has always led on energy, and this Summit is proof that Texas is writing its energy future, too.”

Highlights from the Summit include:

• Nuclear Deployment & Project Execution: moving advanced nuclear from licensing and design through construction, commissioning, and commercial operation
• Texas Nuclear Growth & Leadership: Texas’s emerging role as a center for nuclear development, including major projects, companies, policymakers, and state-level initiatives
• Powering Demand Growth: nuclear’s role in meeting rapidly growing electricity demand from AI, data centers, industry, oil & gas, and other large loads
• Supply Chain, Fuel & Workforce: building the domestic fuel supply, manufacturing base, workforce, and infrastructure needed to support a scaled nuclear industry
• Economics, Investment & Commercialization: financing, de-risking, project economics, cost management, and the transition from demonstration projects to a commercially scalable market
• Policy, Regulation & National Security: licensing modernization, federal and state policy, regulatory reform, and nuclear’s role in energy security and national security
• Community, Industrial & Grid Integration: building public support and partnerships while exploring co-location, load-following, process heat, water, and other ways nuclear can integrate with Texas’s industrial and energy systems

About the Texas Nuclear Alliance

TNA is the only industry association in Texas dedicated to the advancement of nuclear technology in the state. Formed in 2022 in the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri, and comprising of over 80 member entities today, ​TNA is based on the fundamental premise that if Texas and the world want low-carbon, reliable energy, it can no longer turn its back on nuclear energy. In the 89th Texas Legislature, TNA helped pass four nuclear-dedicated bills, including House Bill 14, a $350 million investment by the state in nuclear energy—the largest of its kind in the U.S—that led to the creation of the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office (TANEO). TNA was formed with a singular mission: to make Texas the Nuclear Capital of the World. Nuclear is clean, safe, reliable, and secure.
