Nuclear is well recognized as a clean, affordable, reliable and resilient source of electricity generation. Continued efforts are necessary to facilitate modernization of the technology through innovation. To this end, the private and public sectors are investing in research, development, and deployment of advanced reactors. This includes aggressive strategies to demonstrate advanced reactor designs in less than ten years. This session focuses on providing private and public sector perspectives on the ongoing activities to implement a agile, efficient, and predictable regulatory framework to support these aggressive timelines for the advanced reactors deployment.
