Coalition

The Roving Reactor Project is building a coalition that includes advocacy groups, government agencies (especially the national labs), academia, and industry.

We're grateful for generous grants from Generation Atomic, Mothers for Nuclear, and the Anthropocene Institute, as well as an artist residency from the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History.

The list below is aspirational. We'll continue to reach out to these phenomenal institutions in the coming months.

Our advisory board includes a diverse and respected group of leaders from various sectors who provide invaluable guidance to the project.

Roving Reactor Creative Lead

Steve Moore is an artist from Austin, Texas where he runs Physical Plant Arts. Now in its 30th year, the company's work has been featured in the New York Times, American Theatre Magazine, Variety, and elsewhere. Along the way, Steve spent 10 years at IBM, first as a Senior Technical Writer and eventually as the company's Story Strategist. In 2020, he joined the creative team at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

Since 2022, Steve has conducted 100 interviews with experts in energy and conservation. As the capabilities of nuclear energy came into focus in those conversations, the idea for the Roving Reactor project was born: a traveling exhibit designed to educate and encourage action on nuclear as a vital component in the struggle to balance our need for energy with the need to preserve and protect the natural world.
