Public invited to attend

JEFFERSON CITY, MO, JUNE 3, 2025 – The Missouri Department of Natural Resources invites the public to attend the Missouri Nuclear Summit Thursday, July 17.

Missouri was one of seven states selected by the National Governors Association and the U.S. Department of Energy to host a state-level nuclear summit.

“The purpose of the summit is to bring nuclear back into the energy discussion for Missouri,” said Kurt Schaefer, director of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. “Missouri sits at a difficult crossroads between sustaining increased demand for reliable power generation and decreasing air emissions. The summit’s goal is to elevate the discussion on nuclear energy in Missouri to meet these two criteria.”
