DOME: Legacy built, future ready
In 2019, a familiar landmark at Idaho National Laboratory was scheduled for demolition. Though striking for both its physical presence and its significance to nuclear history, the containment dome that once housed Experimental Breeder Reactor-II sat unused—that is, until INL realized its potential as a reactor testing facility.

Where are we headed as an industry to ensure that plants are resilient to changing climate conditions and the increasing number of climate events impacting operations? This session will discuss climate resiliency topics including: where INPO is with development of their climate resiliency principles document, tools that EPRI has developed for utilities to begin assessing climate vulnerabilities, and approaches taken by utility and next steps to address vulnerabilities. Additionally, TVA will present a recent example of plant operation impacts due to eelgrass ingress caused by changing environmental conditions. Participants: TVA, [EPRI], [INPO], [Xcel]
