NRC updating GEIS rule for new nuclear technology
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is issuing a proposed generic environmental impact statement (GEIS) for use in reviewing applications for new nuclear reactors.
In an April 17 memo, NRC secretary Carrie Safford wrote that the commission approved NRC staff’s recommendation to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule amending 10 CFR Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.”

Despite efforts to reduce inventory levels, site inventories continue to grow. This is not so much due to buying too much at one time, but buying parts for maintenance and then not actually needing to use them. Rather than optimize purchase quantities, nuclear supply chain is more about evaluating the cost of buying a part and not using it, and the cost of needing a part and not having it.
This session will explore the data and tools the industry has to make better buy or not-buy decisions, and when the answer is to buy, make better quantity to buy decisions.
