NRC news roundup
Here’s a look at some recent announcements from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Summer SLR: The NRC this month published its final environmental impact statement for Summer Unit 1’s subsequent license renewal application. Dubbed a supplemental EIS, the report is an important step in determining if Dominion Energy can continue operating its 966-MWe Westinghouse pressurized water reactor unit for an additional 20 years beyond August 6, 2042, the current end of its license.
Keynotes Session
Wednesday, August 23, 2023|8:00–8:50AM EDT|Columbia 5-8
Session Chair:
Igor Bolotnov (NCSU)
Dr. Nam Dinh is a professor of nuclear engineering at North Carolina State University. Prior to NCSU, Dr. Dinh was a chair professor of nuclear power safety at Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology, and a Laboratory Fellow at the Idaho National Laboratory. Professor Dinh research in nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics contributed to severe accident management in LWRs and ALWS plants. Professor Dinh's current research is focused on data-driven modeling and validation of advanced simulation codes, applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in nuclear reactor engineering and safety. He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and a recipient of the ANS Thermal-Hydraulics Division’s Technical Achievement Award.
