With many nuclear plants facing economic headwinds and many simply not profitable any longer, bold and courageous strategies are required to ensure that nuclear power is part of the energy conversation going forward. Simply replacing obsolete components or even systems without fundamentally changing the way nuclear plants are operated and maintained will not generate the kind of transformation that the industry must undertake. This panel will discuss current projects that, taken together, represent the best chance for nuclear power to remain viable well into the 21st century.
