Annual U.S. Industry Program at the International Atomic Energy

AGENCY: International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of 11th Annual U.S. Industry Program at the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission Description

    The United States Department of Commerce's (DOC) International 
Trade Administration (ITA), with participation from the U.S. 
Departments of Energy and State, is organizing the 11th Annual U.S. 
Industry Program at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 
General Conference, to be held September 16-19, 2018, in Vienna, 
Austria. The IAEA General Conference is the premier global meeting of 
civil nuclear policymakers and typically attracts senior officials and 
industry representatives from all 162 Member States. The U.S. Industry 
Program is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce's (DOC) Civil 
Nuclear Trade Initiative, a U.S. Government effort to help U.S. civil 
nuclear companies identify and capitalize on commercial civil nuclear 
opportunities around the world. The purpose of the program is to help 
the U.S. nuclear industry promote its services and technologies to an 
international audience, including senior energy policymakers from 
current and emerging markets as well as IAEA staff.
    Representatives of U.S. companies from across the U.S. civil 
nuclear supply chain are eligible to participate. In addition, 
organizations providing related services to the industry, such as 
universities, research institutions, and U.S. civil nuclear trade 
associations, are eligible for participation. The mission will help 
U.S. participants gain market insights, make industry contacts, 
solidify business strategies, and identify or advance specific projects 
with the goal of increasing U.S. civil nuclear exports to a wide 
variety of countries interested in nuclear energy.
    The schedule includes: Meetings with foreign delegations and 
discussions with senior U.S. Government officials on important civil 
nuclear topics including regulatory, technology and standards, 
liability, public acceptance, export controls, financing, 
infrastructure development, and R&D cooperation. Past U.S. Industry 
Programs have included participation by the U.S. Secretary of Energy, 
the Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and senior 
U.S. Government officials from the Departments of Commerce, Energy, 
State, the Export-Import Bank of the United States and the National 
Security Council.
    There are significant opportunities for U.S. businesses in the 
global civil nuclear energy market. With 55 reactors currently under 
construction in 15 countries and 160 nuclear plant projects planned in 
27 countries over the next 8-10 years, this translates to a market 
demand for equipment and services totaling $500-740 billion over the 
next ten years. This mission contributes to DOC's Civil Nuclear Trade 
Initiative by assisting U.S. businesses in entering or expanding in 
international markets.

Mission Setting

    The IAEA General Conference is the premier global meeting of civil 
nuclear policymakers, and typically attracts over 1,200 senior 
officials and industry representatives from all 162 IAEA Member States. 
As such, it is an opportunity to highlight the breadth and depth of the 
U.S. civil nuclear sector to foreign energy policymakers and potential 
customers. The U.S. Industry Program will provide opportunities for 
U.S. industry representatives to meet with U.S. Government 
representatives and discuss key issues of interest for civil nuclear 
exporters. The program will also feature briefings from foreign 
government representatives, providing opportunities for participants to 
develop contacts in potential export markets.

Mission Goals

    The purpose of the U.S. Industry Program is to highlight the 
benefits of U.S. civil nuclear technology to foreign decision makers in 
key export markets and to enable representatives from the U.S. public 
and private sector to discuss U.S. industry's role in the safe and 
secure expansion of civil nuclear power worldwide. U.S. participants 
will also have the opportunity to network and build relationships in 
the global civil nuclear sector, interact with foreign government and 
industry officials, and learn more about current and future project 
opportunities. Foreign government participants will hear about the 
expertise that U.S. industry has amassed in this sector and may learn 
how to better partner with U.S. industry on future nuclear power 
projects.

Mission Scenario

    On Sunday September 16, trade mission participants will have one-
on-one meetings with visiting ITA staff from top export markets as part 
of ITA's Showtime Program (meetings are subject to availability of 
visiting ITA staff) and an evening U.S. Industry Welcome Reception. On 
Monday, September 17, mission participants will begin with a 
Policymaker's Roundtable and an interagency U.S. Government briefing 
featuring discussion sessions and remarks by senior officials from the 
U.S. Departments of Commerce, Energy and State, and the NRC. In 
addition, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, meetings with foreign 
delegation officials from some of the top markets for U.S. civil 
nuclear exports will be scheduled. Approximately ten such meetings will 
be planned throughout the duration of the event. Throughout the 
weeklong conference, participants can attend IAEA side meetings using 
their official IAEA badges, which will be provided as part of the 
program.
