Eighty years ago, Los Alamos and New Mexico changed the world’s relationship with the atom. Today, it is once again the right place to help define what comes next. Energy demand is surging — driven by artificial intelligence, advanced computing, national security, advanced manufacturing, and the critical infrastructure that holds modern life together. The need for power that is reliable, resilient, and always available has never been more urgent.

 

Nuclear is moving back to the center of that conversation, and the decisions being made right now will shape America’s energy future for generations. The Los Alamos Nuclear Forum convenes the people making those decisions: leaders from government, the national laboratories, industry, utilities, Tribal communities, academia, finance, and the investment world — all in one room, working through both the opportunities and the hard realities of deploying the next generation of nuclear technologies and infrastructure.

 

What You’ll Take Away

 

• Where advanced nuclear technologies stand today — and the real pathways to deployment

• How nuclear can help power AI, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and the always-on economy

• The role of nuclear in national security, defense, and mission-critical infrastructure

• Energy resilience for Tribal, rural, and remote communities

• Frontier technologies including fusion, space nuclear, radioisotopes, and quantum-enabled infrastructure

• How New Mexico’s full-cycle nuclear ecosystem — from uranium and national laboratories to deployment and stewardship — is helping shape the future of American nuclear energy

• Why fuel security, uranium legacy issues, waste management, and cradle-to-grave responsibility remain central to long-term nuclear deployment

• How we build the nuclear workforce of the future

• The financing, partnerships, and policy needed to move projects from concept to reality

 

 

Whether you are a policymaker, utility executive, technology developer, investor, researcher, community leader, or infrastructure professional, this is where you will meet the people shaping the future of nuclear energy in America — and help shape it yourself.

 

Because the future of nuclear deployment is not just about reactors. It is about infrastructure, resilience, stewardship, national security, economic competitiveness, and the long-term responsibility of powering modern society.

 

And few places in the world are better positioned to lead that conversation than Los Alamos and New Mexico.
