Summer at the American Nuclear Society carries with it a sense of renewed momentum as the incoming president takes office and starts making plans for the year ahead. This has been particularly true in the last few years, as nuclear energy moves into a new era marked by broader public interest, stronger policy support, and a growing sense of possibility across the field. Mark Peters, the Society’s 72nd president, shares that optimism—and he is focused on turning it into results.

Cybersecurity plays an important role in LWR modernization and advanced reactor development, demonstration, and deployment. The current body of NRC regulations (including cybersecurity) is largely based upon deterministic or prescriptive methods. This panel will discuss the use of a risk-informed approach improve the efficiency and effectiveness of nuclear power plant cybersecurity programs. This is a great opportunity to listen to and ask questions from experts in the field.
