The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

This panel will focus on the current applications of risk-informed, performance-based approaches in nuclear safety and regulation. Discussions will address both existing light-water reactors and advanced reactor technologies, covering various stages of the nuclear power plant lifecycle, including design certification, construction permits, operating license amendments, and long-term asset management. Experts will share insights into contemporary risk-informed, performance-based methodologies, regulatory drivers, and practical implementation. Drawing from recent experiences in the United States and internationally, ranging from first-of-a-kind advanced reactor designs to life extension efforts for the existing light-water reactor fleet, panelists will highlight key lessons learned.
