Shaping the Future of Nuclear: A Conversation with Jenifer Avellaneda

Shaping the Future of Nuclear: A Conversation with Jenifer Avellaneda

From Passion to Profession Jenifer’s enthusiasm for nuclear energy is contagious. She describes her role at Westinghouse as a commitment to something bigger than just a job.“Everybody shares the same passion,” she says. “It’s not just another day of work. People are excited to take on challenges, mentor others, and collaborate across departments.” That shared enthusiasm fosters an environment of continuous learning, with employees encouraged to expand their knowledge and skills across diverse areas. Jenifer exemplifies this spirit as she balances her full-time role while pursuing a Master’s degree. Though demanding, the combination of challenge and support makes her journey rewarding. Breaking the Myths Around Nuclear One of Jenifer’s missions is to debunk common misconceptions surrounding nuclear energy. Through her social media platform on X as Nuclear Hazelnut, she engages with the public, offering clarity on common concerns and correcting misinformation. “If I had a magic wand, I would erase the negative and false narratives about nuclear,” she says. “We need to engage in open conversations. Most questions are easy for industry professionals to answer; it’s about making the information accessible.” Jenifer advocates for transparency, urging nuclear professionals to engage openly and invite the public into the discussion, “We need to stop shutting the windows and start opening the doors.” The Future of Nuclear: Innovation and Expansion Jenifer envisions nuclear energy as a cornerstone of the clean energy transition. From small modular reactors to fusion research and even space exploration, the possibilities seem endless. “The industry is evolving quickly,” she shares. “I can’t wait to see a micro-reactor in my neighbourhood or in commercial buildings.” However, for nuclear to reach its full potential, the industry must continue attracting new talent from diverse fields. Jenifer is particularly passionate about helping people from all sectors - including marketing, communications, and finance - recognise that nuclear isn’t just for engineers. “There are so many career paths in nuclear,” Jenifer says. “It’s not just about science and engineering - it’s an industry that needs experts in all fields. People often don’t realise that.” Join the Nuclear Renaissance With a global push for clean energy, nuclear innovation is at the forefront, and the need for collaboration and talent has never been greater. Whether you’re an engineer, communications expert, policymaker, or project manager, the nuclear industry needs your skills. Any questions about nuclear? We have a team who are just as passionate - contact us! -- Watch the full interview here.
