RIC session focuses on interagency collaboration
Attendees at last week’s 2026 Regulatory Information Conference, hosted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, saw extensive discussion of new reactor technologies, uprates, fusion, multiunit deployments, supply chain, and much more.
With the industry in a state of rapid evolution, there was much to discuss. Connected to all these topics was one central theme: the ongoing changes at the NRC. With massively shortened timelines, the ADVANCE Act and Executive Order 14300, and new interagency collaboration and authorization pathways in mind, speakers spent much of the RIC exploring what the road ahead looks like for the NRC.

The Department of Energy Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program Plant Modernization Pathway has been focused on cost effective, technology enabled, transformational change to extend existing nuclear plant lifetimes to 80-100 years. This discussion will provide the HMIT/NPIC community with insights into how LWRS methods and research results not only impact legacy nuclear plant plant designs and concepts of operation but can also be leveraged and coordinated in such a way as to simultaneously support new plant design and eventual operation in a mixed plant environment.
