Nuclear legislation progresses in the Midwest
In the past week, two pieces of nuclear legislation moved forward in two Midwestern states.
In Wisconsin, a bill to create new tax credits for new power plants passed through the state Assembly and went to the Senate, while in Indiana, a bill to simplify the state approval process for new plants passed through the state Senate and went to the House.

Implementation of changes in the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle for emerging needs such as high-assay low-enriched uranium, advanced fuel types, advanced medical isotopes, and plutonium processing will require new facilities and their associated processes and equipment. Integration of nuclear criticality safety (NCS) principles, limits, and controls should be incorporated early in the design process. This session will include papers which address the new strategies which may be employed to integrate NCS into the design process, operating experience and lessons learned from past design projects, and the associated risks and challenges faced by NCS practitioners during the design processes
