In this episode of Future of Nuclear, host Phil Zeringue, Chief Revenue Officer of Nuclearn, sits down with Gabe Ivory, of the Nuclear Advocacy and Representation Organization (NARO) and Nuclear Engineer, to explore what the next generation of nuclear professionals are learning, building, and championing.

From AI-assisted engineering to advocacy in action, Gabe shares how he’s navigating the transition from Texas A&M University’s nuclear engineering classrooms to federally regulated control rooms, and how young engineers are reshaping the culture, communication, and technology behind modern nuclear operations.

Phil and Gabe dig deep into:

• The shift from theory to practice inside the plant environment
• Generational change and knowledge transfer across the nuclear workforce
• Why AI and digital tools are critical to modernization, efficiency, and safety
• The origins of NARO and its mission to promote “nuclear engineers for nuclear”
• The importance of communication, storytelling, and community trust in nuclear energy
• How to attract, train, and retain the future workforce for clean, reliable energy
