Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

The panel will discuss real cost savings achieved from implementation of three Risk-Informed (RI) programs: Initiative 5b (TSTF-425) allows for RI Surveillance Requirement frequency changes, Initiative 4b (TSTF 505) allows for RI completion times for required actions, and 10CFR50.69 allows for RI relaxation of requirements for low-safety significant SSCs. The panel will share success stories from utilities who have implemented these programs.
