Christine King

Director

As Director of the Gateway for Acceleration in Nuclear (GAIN) initiative, Christine King facilitates a range of public-private partnerships to help move innovative nuclear energy technologies toward commercialization. As these technologies mature, GAIN works with communities and states to evaluate how nuclear energy may provide new economic opportunities as well serve their citizens. Finally, GAIN works to ensure that the nuclear ecosystem is also prepared to support the scale and deployment of 200GW of new nuclear in the United States to meet decarbonization and sustainability goals.
