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.

With the lack of political progress on a repository for HLW, this panel will take the opportunity to focus on the waste streams the U.S. nuclear complex (industry + government) does have waste disposal solutions for and will provide the current status of these disposal facilities. Hopefully through this discussion, the path towards success for a HLW repository will become evident. In addition, an update on the current status of the HLW repository program in the U.S. will be provided.
