NSI report addresses supply chain bottlenecks
A new report commissioned by the Nuclear Scaling Initiative, conducted by energy consultant Solestiss, and funded by the Bezos Earth Fund, identifies and recommends solutions to overcome current bottlenecks in the supply chain for advanced reactors.
Broadly speaking, the report recommends the repeated deployment of Gen III+ reactor designs to rebuild the foundation of domestic manufacturing, workforce, and qualification capacity.

Nuclear criticality safety process analysis is required to determine that the entire process will be subcritical under both normal and credible abnormal upsets. The analysis documents generated tend to focus on the operating process and does not always address infrequent activities like preventative and/or corrective maintenance. Panelists will discuss the interface of NCS and maintenance activities at their facility.
