Just A Few Words

About The Event

Building the first major nuclear maritime conference in Athens for 2027 is a visionary move. Greece, holding the world’s largest merchant fleet, is the natural home for this conversation, especially as the industry moves from “theory to action” regarding Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Floating Nuclear Power Plants (FNPPs).
