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.

The Material Protection Accounting and Control Technologies program has completed a 2020 milestone to demonstrate Safeguards and Security by Design (SSBD) for a notional electrochemical reprocessing facility. The work has been outlined in a series of nine papers in a special issue of the Journal of Nuclear Materials Management. This panel session will describe key lessons learned from the SSBD process, the materials accountancy and physical protection approach, measurement technology development, and experimental testing. The approach and tools used in this work can be applied to other nuclear fuel cycle facilities in the future.
