DOE-NE’s newest fuel consortium includes defense from antitrust laws
The Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy is setting up a nuclear fuel Defense Production Act Consortium that will seek voluntary agreements with interested companies “to increase fuel availability, provide more access to reliable power, and end America’s reliance on foreign sources of enriched uranium and critical materials needed to power the nation’s nuclear renaissance.” According to an August 22 DOE press release, the plan invokes the Defense Production Act (DPA) to give consortium members “defense from antitrust laws when certain criteria are met” and “allow industry consultation to develop plans of action.” DOE-NE is looking for interested companies to join the consortium ahead of its first meeting, scheduled for October 14.
Speakers will show slides by using USB drives with the conference-provided laptop. Session chairs and speakers cannot use their own laptops; the conference-provided laptop must be used. Suggest to presenters that they email the slides to themselves and upload them to the meeting platform as back-ups.
Speakers know to check in with you in your session room at least 15 minutes before the start of your session. They may present you with brief biographical information to aid in your introductions. Or, before the conference, you can ask speakers to provide you with brief bios for introductions.
Assist presenters in keeping track of their time so that presentations do not run over. Please do not rearrange the order of the presentations in your session.
If your session is in the first morning timeslot, a session sign will be placed by the room approximately 20 minutes before the session begins. For all other timeslots, the session sign will be in place.
Start your session with a quick introduction.
If you have a no-show, hold that time slot, and do not move ahead. Consider prompting discussion about the session’s topic to fill the time and to encourage attendees to remain in the room.
Inform ANS Registration/Help Desk of any no-shows in your session or you can email epsr@ans.org to report no-shows.
Remind attendees who request Professional Development Hours (PDHs) that they must complete the in-app session survey.
