• Challenges faced by the industry in maintaining public trust and support, as well as strategies and tactics used to improve public perception.
• Insights and real-world examples on how to address concerns related to nuclear and fossil energy sources, safety, environmental impact, and sustainability, while balancing the challenge of ensuring reliable and affordable energy for communities.
