Keeping up with Kewaunee
In October 2012, Dominion Energy announced it was closing the Kewaunee nuclear power plant, a two-loop 574-MWe pressurized water reactor located about 27 miles southeast of Green Bay, Wis., on the western shore of Lake Michigan. At the time, Dominion said the plant was running well, but that low wholesale electricity prices in the region made it uneconomical to continue operation of the single-unit merchant power plant.
June 15–18, 2025
Chicago, IL|Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile
This conference is the 14th in a series organized by ANS’s Human Factors, Instrumentation & Controls Division (HFICD). Authors are invited to participate in the International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control, and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC & HMIT 2025). Sponsored by the American Nuclear Society (ANS), NPIC & HMIT is the de facto forum for nuclear instrumentation and control and human factors engineering professionals to meet with leaders in industry and academia, discover the state of the technology, exchange information, and discuss future directions. The conference welcomes the submission of full-length technical papers in I&C, human factors, cyber security, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, which will be peer reviewed and published as conference proceedings. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference to be included in the conference proceedings. Papers will be scheduled for either podium presentations or the student competition. SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT
Calling all students to submit papers to the 2025 NPIC&HMIT conference in Chicago! Papers for which the Primary Author is a student are eligible for a cash prize. You are considered a student if you were enrolled as a student while the work was completed and are giving the presentation as a current student or within 12 months of completing your degree. Please consider submitting a student paper and identifying it as such in the paper submission system. See you in Chicago!
