Division Spotlight
Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy
The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

The supplier of a product has a better handle on the costs associated with supplying their products than do the consumers of that product. And yet industry cost saving initiatives nearly always stem from the utilities and often with no supplier input. Suppliers want to maximize profits, but also need the utilities to remain healthy and competitive. The solution to this is better two-way communication between utilities and suppliers. One aspect of this includes initiatives launched by INPO and EPRI that often do not reach the majority of the supplier community because of membership rules.
This session will explore how industry initiatives can be better communicated to the supplier community, better communication in general between utilities and suppliers, and the possible formation of a formal Nuclear Supply Chain group to facilitate better communication. This potential new group might be a separate organization or an adjunct to the existing NSCSL organization and support INPO IER 21-4 initiatives.
