NRC approves Westinghouse exemption request for AP1000 DC
Westinghouse has cleared a hurdle in its quest to renew and update the standard design certification (DC) for its AP1000 reactor with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s approval of an exemption from scheduling requirements that limit when an applicant can apply for a DC renewal.
Technical Session|Panel|Technology Research and Development
Wednesday, April 29, 2026|2:00–3:20PM EDT|Room 305
This panel will discuss supporting technologies that do not typically receive much attention (e.g., power conversion controllers, reactor instrumentation and control, radiation modeling and shielding, and in-space assembly of modular radiators for NEP). Each of these technology areas is a critical enabler of future space nuclear systems. The panel will discuss current efforts and identified gaps requiring more investigation for development.
