VENUE & OVERVIEW
A decade in the making, The Student Union, UT's largest building project in its history will host the AR Summit VII plenary sessions.
Overview
Now in its seventh year, after successive ground-breaking Summits at Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Texas A&M University, and the University of California San Diego, the Advanced Reactors Summit VII will take place at Tennessee's flagship university and premier public research institution, the University of Tennessee. Established in 1957, the University of Tennessee's Department of Nuclear Engineering is one of the oldest and most prestigious programs in the United States. With close ties to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Y-12 Nuclear Security Complex, and faculty that is internationally recognized for excellence in research and teaching it is no wonder why the University of Tennessee's Department of Nuclear Engineering program consistently ranks as one of the top in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.
The AR Summit VII's array of events will all take place in the heart and soul of East Tennessee - that's Downtown Knoxville. A thriving modern city with small town charm, Knoxville is known for its diverse music scene, boutique shops in beautifully restored buildings, festivals, world-class theaters, parks, museums and more than 90 restaurants within one square mile. It's no wonder U.S. News and World Report lists Knoxville among the top places to live.
Knoxville is also home to the headquarters of the Tennessee Valley Authority and nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy's largest science and energy laboratory, and with more than one hundred nuclear related companies located within fifty miles, Knoxville and the East Tennessee area may have the largest concentration of nuclear industry anywhere in the world.
The AR Summit VII will continue its focus on showcasing technology developers and advancing solutions on the cost and deployment timeframe of advanced reactors, as well as practical ideas and concepts that have the potential of significantly improving advanced reactor design, deployment, and operations.

SPECIAL ATOMIC WINGS LUNCH AND LEARN TO KICK-OFF ADVANCED REACTORS SUMMIT VII & SHOWCASE EVENTS
A special edition of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy Atomic Wings lunch and learn program on the afternoon of February 10, 2020, will serve to launch the Advanced Reactors VII and Showcase at the University of Tennessee in conjunction with Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Knoxville.
"Propelling the Next Generation for Advanced Nuclear Energy" is the program's focus. The Atomic Wings program will feature students from the University as well as rising early-career representatives from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, TVA and the greater Knoxville community.
The Atomic Wings Lunch & Learn Series is a U.S. Department of Energy sponsored bipartisan educational program for Members of Congress, Hill Staff & Industry, informing both sides of the aisle on the benefits of nuclear energy.
The AR Summit VII & Showcase at the University of Tennessee is the largest cross-cutting technology gathering of the Advanced Nuclear community in the United States with more than 400 participants expected for its array of events. Along with the Atomic Wings Lunch & Learn on February 10, events include a Plenary Session on February 11-12; Welcome Reception on February 10; an Awards Reception on February 11; and a Technology Trailblazers Showcase at the Summit.
