Panel: Innovations for Nuclear Bankability

Nuclear Symposium 2026 was hosted on September 23 and 24th during Climate Week in New York City. The two day event brought together, for the first time, the communities, the developers, the buyers, the regulators, and the capital all in one room. Speakers: -Kirsty Gogan, TerraPraxis, Managing Partner -Elina Teplinsky, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, Nuclear Energy Partner and Energy Industry Leader -Jake Jurewicz, Blue Energy, CEO & Co-Founder -Erich Scherer, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Director of Strategy Moderator: -Hunter Dare, Oppenheimer Energy, Head of Finance and Capital Markets Nuclear projects are capital-intensive, long-dated, and politically exposed — and the gap between a reactor design and a built, operating plant is where most of them fail. This panel explores the innovations in delivery, financing, government support, and new capital stack architectures that turn nuclear designs into bankable projects delivered at scale.
