How the NRC modernized its digital I&C infrastructure and where it goes from here
The Nuclear Regulatory Commissiona first formally developed infrastructure for the review of digital instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in the 1990s. Although the current fleet of nuclear power plants in the United States was originally designed and constructed with analog systems, the U.S. nuclear industry has for more than 30 years been working to upgrade these older systems with modern digital equipment.

This interactive panel discussion seeks to answer attendee questions about academic career paths including whats, whys, whens, and hows of preparing for an academic career, pursuing a faculty position, and thriving as an early career faculty member. A panel of early career nuclear engineering faculty will briefly discuss their motivations, experiences, and challenges in the pursuit of their academic career paths. Additionally, these faculty will discuss lessons learned and provide recommendations to students considering becoming faculty. We hope all students curious about academic career paths will join this session armed with as many questions as possible. Ask us anything.
