What Happened
On February 10, Hyundai E&C held the seminar at The Westin Dallas Downtown, featuring sessions on nuclear construction standards, modular concepts, and workforce development. The event drew representatives from about 100 companies, including top ENR contractors, to share expertise and explore cooperation opportunities.
Hyundai E&C signed a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) service contract with Fermi America for four AP1000 nuclear units.
Hyundai E&C hosted the Large-Scale Nuclear Technology Seminar in Dallas, Texas.
Hyundai E&C aims to execute an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for Project Matador.
“AI-driven load growth is accelerating faster than most people realize. The next decade will be defined by who can build power infrastructure fast enough to support AI and industrial growth. Hyundai E&C brings the industrial scale and execution discipline needed to deliver significant energy projects like Project Matador. We see this partnership with Hyundai E&C as a critical step toward rebuilding”
A Hyundai E&C official stated that the seminar shared practical knowledge across all nuclear construction disciplines and showcased the company's global expertise. They hope it will increase local companies' participation in nuclear projects and establish a sustainable cooperation framework for nuclear plant construction in Texas and across the United States.
Why this matters
The seminar aims to rebuild the U.S. nuclear workforce and supply chain, supporting carbon-free energy capacity to meet AI-driven power demand.
