Nuclear power’s new rule book: Managing uncertainty in efficiency, safety, and independence
The U.S. nuclear industry is standing at its most volatile regulatory moment yet—one that will shape the trajectory and the safety of the industry for decades to come. Recent judicial, legislative, and executive actions are rewriting the rules governing the licensing and regulation of nuclear power reactors. Although these changes are intended to promote and accelerate the deployment of new nuclear energy technologies, the collision of multiple legal shifts—occurring simultaneously and intersecting with profound technological uncertainties—is overwhelming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and threatening to destabilize investor and industry expectations.

As part of the NCSD 2025 Conference, we invite you to an exclusive technical tour showcasing two of UT Austin’s premier research facilities:
Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) – Home to some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, TACC enables groundbreaking simulations and research in nuclear science, engineering, and beyond—like modeling black hole mergers and neutron star collisions.
UT TRIGA Reactor at NETL – Explore the Nuclear Engineering Teaching Lab (NETL), where the TRIGA reactor supports nuclear research, criticality safety studies, radiation detection, criticality safety experiments, and isotope production, this reactor plays a key role in training the next generation of nuclear engineers.
This tour offers an opportunity to see world-class facilities up close and explore potential collaborations.
