Kirsty Gogan to Deliver Opening Keynote at EMEA Modular & UK Large Reactors Forum 2026

EMEA Modular & UK Large Reactors Forum

London, UK

March 25-26th, 2026

Kirsty Gogan of LucidCatalyst will be attending the EMEA Modular & UK Large Reactors Forum, delivering the opening keynote and joining a panel discussion on navigating regulatory hurdles for first-of-a-kind small modular reactor projects around the world.

The Forum brings together government, regulators, operators, and reactor vendors to address one of the central challenges of the energy transition: how to move from nuclear innovation to commercialisation at scale. Sessions will explore the regulatory, commercial, and technical conditions needed to unlock large-scale SMR and AMR deployment across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, alongside the advancement of the UK's large-scale reactor programme including Sizewell C.

With the IEA projecting that global nuclear capacity must roughly triple by 2050 to meet net-zero targets, the question of how the industry designs, licenses, and deploys reactors at pace has never been more urgent. The opening keynote will examine what it takes to make that shift a reality, and what the industry must get right to move from project-based development to standardised, product-based deployment.

Kirsty will participate in the panel on regulatory hurdles, with Sam Dumitriu from Britain Remade and Mustafa Latif-Aramesh from the UK Cabinet Office Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce, chaired by Dr. Donald Hoffman EXCEL Services Corporation will dig into where the barriers remain and what it will take to close the gaps — in the UK, in Europe, and globally.
