El Salvador: Looking to nuclear
In 2022, El Salvador’s leadership decided to expand its modest, mostly hydro- and geothermal-based electricity system, which is supported by expensive imported natural gas and diesel generation. They chose to use advanced nuclear reactors, preferably fueled by thorium-based fuels, to power their civilian efforts. The choice of thorium was made to inform the world that the reactor program was for civilian purposes only, and so they chose a fuel that was plentiful, easy to source and work with, and not a proliferation risk.

Join this panel discussion to learn how to develop effective mentoring relationships that are mutually beneficial, last years on end, and fit your style. This panel will bring together mentors and mentees from academia, industry, and U.S. national laboratories to answer questions and share their stories and advice. Join the discussion, and start building stronger mentoring relationships!
