The Nuclear Security Summit is almost here, co-hosted by Kontek Industries and Holtec Security International. This free two-day event is designed for professionals working in nuclear facility protection, bringing together regulators, operators, vendors, and security experts.
If you’re planning to attend or want to learn more about the event, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your time at the Summit.
The Nuclear Security Summit is a high-impact event focused on advancing physical security in the nuclear sector. Unlike typical trade shows, it combines expert presentations, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities into one immersive experience. Attendees include representatives from the Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), SMR operators, and commercial power professionals.
Key Event Details:
Here's a recap of our previous summit:

Speakers Include:
Day 2 moves to the Rowan County Wildlife Association in Salisbury, NC, where live product demonstrations take center stage. Attendees will rotate through multiple demo stations covering real-world scenarios and advanced security technologies.
Scheduled Demonstrations:
This Summit gives you something rare: a front-row seat to see how security technology really performs. The combination of classroom-style learning, real-world demos, and networking makes this event one of the most practical and valuable gatherings for nuclear security professionals. Our event speakers bring decades of on-the-ground experience, and the crowd is made up of people who face the same compliance pressures, security challenges, and threat concerns you do. That makes the networking feel less like small talk and more like swapping solutions.
If you want ideas you can take back to your site and proof that the tools work, this is the place to get both.
