COLLABORATORS
OPEN100 collaborators demonstrate their commitment to solving the real-world challenges facing nuclear power in new and innovative ways. Collectively, we are re-thinking the rapid deployment of nuclear energy using existing and well-known technology without prohibitive costs, resulting in a framework to develop realistic clean energy alternatives to fossil fuels.
