The 2-day programme blends expert presentations, interactive and candid panel discussions, and collaborative discussions with networking opportunities, focusing on nuclear energy's role in ensuring energy security, supply chain resilience, enhancing safety and innovation, and achieving decarbonization goals in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
Agenda at a Glance
18 February 2025
Pre-Summit Site Visit to Fukushima Daiichi NPP and TEPCO’s Decommissioning Archie Center – it should be Decommissioning Archive Center
19 February 2025 Day 1 of the summit will focus on the pivotal role of nuclear energy in ensuring energy security amid the evolving geopolitical landscape and the challenges it presents. As countries strive to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and secure stable energy supplies, nuclear energy offers a resilient and reliable solution. Discussions will emphasize how nuclear power can bolster energy security in the Asia-Pacific region, especially as geopolitical tensions disrupt traditional energy supply chains. In addition, sessions will explore strategies for expanding nuclear capacity, including new nuclear builds and advanced technologies like Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), to meet the growing energy demands. The day will also address the importance of supply chain resilience and the infrastructure needed to support nuclear projects, with a focus on safeguarding supply lines for critical materials and components in an increasingly unstable geopolitical environment. Experts will examine how countries can collaborate on nuclear projects to strengthen energy independence and security while accelerating progress toward decarbonization and sustainability goals. Day 1 will also address nuclear applications in the maritime industry, discussing how nuclear propulsion and other nuclear technologies can support energy security and decarbonization within the shipping sector.
20 February 2025 Day 2 of the summit will center on tackling the vital issues of nuclear safety, sustainability, and the role of nuclear energy in achieving net zero emissions. Sessions will delve into cutting-edge safety innovations designed to enhance the security and reliability of nuclear energy, ensuring its role as a safe, sustainable solution for future energy needs. A key focus will be on how Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) can contribute to both energy security and sustainability by providing flexible, low-carbon energy solutions. Collaborative innovation will also be highlighted through discussions on international partnerships, with leaders sharing insights into public-private initiatives and cross-border collaboration that are driving advancements in nuclear technology. The day will also feature a special session on Southeast Asia’s nuclear ambitions, exploring how nations like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam are poised to reshape their energy landscapes. Concluding with a forward-looking discussion on balancing energy security, sustainability, and equity, the summit will address how nuclear energy can meet growing energy demands while advancing global environmental goals and ensuring equitable access to energy resources.

Building the Ecosystem for the Next Generation of Nuclear Power
It's a pivotal time for the nuclear industry: advanced fission reactors are approaching demonstration-scale operation, and conventional light water reactors are rapidly being constructed and restarted. This growth is driven largely by a new recognition of these reactors' safety benefits and their vital role in ensuring energy security. However, significant challenges remain. Many of these reactors, especially advanced fission reactors, require unique materials and components that do not yet have robust supply chains. Others will require services such as fabricating new fuel forms and new methods of inspecting the plants. All will require a well-trained labour force. We must now focus on building up this nuclear ecosystem -- the supply chains, service sector, and labour force -- to scale up nuclear power production successfully in the coming decades. Dr Leslie Dewan, Founder, Criticality Capital, USA

Investment Opportunities and Effective Financing strategies for New Nuclear
1:20
Resource Requirements for Nuclear Power Programmes – the Funding Gap To enable the deployment of Nuclear Power Programmes, countries need to develop necessary nuclear infrastructure or update the existing one. The costs associated are usually borne by the National institutions and the Project proponent. These resources even a fraction of the project costs is mandatory to be planned and mobilized upfront and frequently their size is underestimated. The presentation will explore the size and timing of resources needed as well as potential sources of funding and international cooperation programs. Milko Kovachev, International Expert, The International Bank for Nuclear Infrastructure (IBNI)
1:50
Financing Nuclear Power Plants under Liberalised Electricity Market
The discussion around utilising nuclear in order to progress decarbonisation while responding the rapid increase of power demand for digitalisation is beginning to be boiled down. To make it happen, now we need to discuss about financing nuclear power plants
Needless to say, this is not easy. Nuclear technology and operation involve not a few risks which make it hard to obtain finance. Some of such risks are inherent to the nature of nuclear, i.e., long term construction and operation, as well as some of the uncertainty related to the back-end cycle.
My session will summarize the risks inherent to nuclear plants construction/operation which make it difficult to obtain finance.
Nevertheless, some countries have already started demonstrating workable financing scheme for their new nuclear plants. Examples are UK`s CfD (contract for difference), RAB (regulated asset base), sponsored by heavy corporate power users, financed by power operator (like EDF which actually is government), etc, etc. Such initiatives will be summarized with pros and cons.
Turning it over to the situation in Japan, while general atmosphere appears to be becoming a bit positive towards the use of nuclear, and it looks like the government will include nuclear as one of the main power source for its 7th basic energy plan which is now under discussion, the finance discussion has just began.
In addition to the financial risk inherent to nuclear plant itself, there are other matters which make it difficult to finance nuclear plants specifically observed in Japan. Included in them are people`s sentiment coming from Fukushima, and moreover, financial difficulty of regional power companies derived from (1) stopping nuclear reactors operation and (2) the liberalization of electricity.
The 7th basic energy plan needs to come with some workable financing plan for nuclear. So discussion regarding the financial scheme for new nuclear has just been started. I will present some of the ideas being discussed. Also, will explore some of the market indication regarding the appetite towards nuclear.
Apart from utility size nuclear new plants, SMR might have to take different path. Most of the SMR appears to be for specific demands like data center or industries such as steel and/or chemical. If that is the case, cost recovery based on public consumer’s monthly electricity bill can not be applied. New financial scheme needs to be explored.
Above all, it is crucial to clearly define business model for such SMR use; who owns, who operates such SMR, what is supply chain like? etc.
