Webinar: MC&A and safety in advanced reactors in focus
Towell
Russell
Prasad
The American Nuclear Society’s Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division recently hosted a webinar on updating material control and accounting (MC&A) and security regulations for the evolving field of advanced reactors.
Moderator Shikha Prasad (CEO, Srijan LLC) was joined by two presenters, John Russell and Lester Towell, who looked at how regulations that were historically developed for traditional light water reactors will apply to the next generation of nuclear technology and what changes need to be made.

KAERI
Mr. Tae-Ho Lee is a Vice President of SMART Development at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI).
He has more than 24 years of experience in the fields of design and experiments for nuclear reactor.
Early in his career, he was involved in the system design of commercial power reactor and SMART.
Then, he has participated in several projects related with reactor system design and technology validation of sodium-cooled fast reactor as project manager or director for about 14 years.
He joined again the SMART projects in 2019 and currently takes overall responsibility for technology development of light-water type SMR at KAERI.
