Ana Otero
Engineer
Ana Otero is an engineer in industrial technologies with a major in energies from Madrid, Spain. She did her Bachelors degree at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and decided to specialize in nuclear engineering in KTH university and Phelma-Grenoble INP. The increasing level of carbon emissions worldwide despite all the international climate agreements and the plans worldwide from governments to gradually shut down the remaining nuclear power plants and research projects is what pushed her towards a career in the nuclear energy sector. She’s currently working in CS Group, an associate company that works on missions for EDF and Framatome for thermalhydraulic safety studies of the actual fleet of French NPPs. The current misinformation around nuclear energy, the human footprint in the planet and the inactivity of some governments about climate change is what motivated her to join the NGO Voices of Nuclear and the NuclearForClimate coalition.

Ben Reade
BEng Hons Mechanical Engineering
Ben Reade is a Nuclear Science and Technology graduate from the university consortium NTEC. He works as a distillery operator on the Isle of Mull. He believes nuclear is beneficial to humanity as it remains to be the only energy source that can provide zero-carbon, multi-GW scale power plant electricity supply for longer than 6 months of the year. He likes the fact that a football pitch a couple of meters high of the stored fuel can supply a nation for decades, and believes the technology will likely be used in some way for thousands of years to come.

Jon Facemire
Environmentalist
Jon has been advocating for low carbon energy sources since college. After getting interested in climate change Jon wrote a paper on the pros and cons of different electricity sources and was shocked at the public health damages from fossil fuels. Jon took classes in energy efficiency, grid reliability and nuclear energy while advocating for clean energy through the on campus Green energy group at UMD. Jon got an internship working on risk assessment for nuclear power and for the past 13 years has been working in the nuclear industry first helping the current fleet optimize efficiency and now helping the next generation of nuclear power get licensed and built. Jon continues to advocate for clean energy and is excited to promote nuclear at COP27.
