Sean Burk
Director of Construction Burns & McDonnell
Sean Burk is Director of Construction at Burns & McDonnell, a leading engineering, architecture and construction firm. Sean leads construction delivery on large, complex energy projects and brings hands-on experience scaling proven reactor designs into repeatable builds. He specializes in the delivery discipline behind the AP1000 fleet, from design maturity and modular execution to turning hard-won lessons into lower-risk repeat construction. Sean is a practical voice on what it takes to move from first-of-a-kind projects to a true fleet-build mindset.
Seminars
- Reading why the US government and utilities have converged on the AP1000 as the only proven, operating large reactor to scale, the target is 20 AP1000s, not 20 “units”
- Turning Vogtle’s hard-won lessons and Westinghouse’s re-certified NRC design into a repeatable, lower-risk build rather than another cost overrun
- Fixing the real killer, design maturity, so modular construction is not undone by midbuild design change
Practical Takeaway: Leave knowing why the AP1000 is the near-term backbone of the US large-reactor build, and exactly what design maturity and delivery discipline it takes to make the next units repeatable rather than a repeat of Vogtle.
