Ten EU countries call for nuclear to be marked ‘sustainable’
Ten of the 27 member countries of the European Union recently sent a letter to the European Commission calling for nuclear power to be labeled as sustainable in a new rulemaking that pertains to powering data centers and artificial intelligence.
While the EC’s decision could have significant impact on the future deployment of nuclear across the continent, this call to action also represents a broader positive reconsideration of nuclear power in Europe in recent years.

Crud Induced Power Shift (CIPS) has been reasonably well-managed in the United States PWR fleet since 2014; however, recent interest for extended cycle lengths and power uprates have renewed focus on understanding CIPS risk assessment and defining margin for more aggressive core designs. This panel session will focus on utility issues and concerns, and highlight the risk assessment methods and tools available to the industry.
