Nuclear Communities Events

The Nuclear Communities team has hosted a number of virtual events that cover topics ranging from the technical process of nuclear plant decommissioning, to funding tools for nuclear host communities, and to economic resiliency planning for areas that are affected by the closure of a plant. These events offer opportunities for peer nuclear host communities to connect with one another, sharing experiences and best practices, while also showing communities that they are not alone.

Nuclear Closure Communities Forum

The Nuclear Closure Communities Forum placed the issue of nuclear decommissioning in a national context and brought together communities from across the country for a series of engaging discussions around the various impacts that host communities and regions experience when a local nuclear facility shuts down.

During the Forum, speakers shared insights from the field on a wide range of socioeconomic impacts of closure; the nuts and bolts of the decommissioning process; prioritizing meaningful, consistent community engagement in planning; and the importance of early planning for a successful economic transition.
