The meeting included discussions on insights related to the indicators and impacts of nuclear energy technologies and their integration with other energy sources, as well as their distinctive role in emerging applications, particularly in supplying energy for artificial intelligence technologies. It also addressed global regulatory roles and their importance in supporting new nuclear energy designs and applications.

The discussions further highlighted the need to address common perceptions about nuclear energy, rely on facts and integrated strategic needs, and emphasize the importance of integrating nuclear energy with energy infrastructure, including transmission networks and production continuity.
