I’m confident that under Everett’s leadership, we will continue to provide the innovative risk and insurance solutions that support the growing demand for nuclear fission and fusion energy worldwide.”

Hansen added: “With the resurgence of nuclear energy as a resilient and zero-carbon electricity source, owners, operators, developers, and investors face a complex risk landscape that demands innovative solutions.
