The newest era of workforce development at ANS
As most attendees of this year’s ANS Annual Conference left breakfast in the Grand Ballroom of the Chicago Downtown Marriott to sit in on presentations covering everything from career pathways in fusion to recently digitized archival nuclear films, 40 of them made their way to the hotel’s fifth floor to take part in the second offering of Nuclear 101, a newly designed certification course that seeks to give professionals who are in or adjacent to the industry an in-depth understanding of the essentials of nuclear energy and engineering from some of the field’s leading experts.

In late-2019 and early-2020, the NRC approved the first two subsequent license renewal (SLR) applications to allow operation up to 80 years. This marks a major achievement for this new regulatory process. This early success of the SLR regulatory process is due to innovative approaches by both the NRC and the utility applicants. This session will include a summary of the efforts that led up to the submittal and approval of the first SLR applications, lessons learned, and planning insights for future SLR applicants.
