Nuclear energy is essential in achieving the Net Zero goal. This has been emphasised as more governments announce strategic plans of nuclear power plants construction. While welcoming the “AI revolution” and anticipating enormous electricity consumption, nuclear fission sees its biggest potential ever in the next 30 years. At the same time, nuclear fusion is inching closer to commercial viability.
While the global vision for nuclear is clear, the regional realities differ greatly. How are we progressing? Are resources, talent, investment, policy, supply chains, and technology acting as enablers—or barriers? Can global collaboration unlock shared success? And how can we leverage progress in fission to accelerate fusion?
Join our international panel of experts—leaders in nuclear fission, fusion, policy, and communication—as they share insights from their regions and fields. This open and interactive session will explore the broader questions surrounding the global nuclear landscape.
Tea/coffee and cake will be provided.

This event is part of our Expert Insights Series...
In celebration of the Dalton Nuclear Institute’s 20th anniversary, this year we are launching our Expert Insights Series. This series brings together leaders from the Dalton Community and our partners to share their views and experiences across the breadth of nuclear with a wider audience. This will provide an exciting opportunity to engage with subject matter experts and broaden your nuclear knowledge.
The series is hosted by the Dalton Champions - members of Manchester's nuclear research community who work to enhance the network. Champions are based throughout the University, representing the many departments in which nuclear related research takes place.
About us
The University of Manchester's Dalton Nuclear Institute brings together the University's community of over 170 PhD researchers, postdocs and fellows, and 120 academics. Spread across three faculties, their work covers the full nuclear fuel cycle, fusion, health and social research. Together this community forms the most advanced nuclear research capability in the UK.
