RIC session focuses on interagency collaboration
Attendees at last week’s 2026 Regulatory Information Conference, hosted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, saw extensive discussion of new reactor technologies, uprates, fusion, multiunit deployments, supply chain, and much more.
With the industry in a state of rapid evolution, there was much to discuss. Connected to all these topics was one central theme: the ongoing changes at the NRC. With massively shortened timelines, the ADVANCE Act and Executive Order 14300, and new interagency collaboration and authorization pathways in mind, speakers spent much of the RIC exploring what the road ahead looks like for the NRC.

Ways to evaluate the amount of depleted boron in the reactor coolant system of pressurized water reactors and in the total nuclear power plant boron inventory are presented. Also shown are the identified amounts of the depleted boron in the D. C. Cook nuclear plant units 1 and 2 and respective values calculated using presented equations. Operational and safety aspects of the phenomena are discussed.
