Indiana launches nuclear readiness designation system
As states around the country continue to develop new methods of collaboration with local governments to facilitate and expedite new nuclear deployment, Indiana recently unveiled a plan of its own: the new Indiana Advanced Nuclear Ready Communities Program.
The Indiana Office of Energy Development (OED), which leads the program, describes it as a “first-of-its-kind state designation system” that formally recognizes communities that have taken measurable steps to prepare for new nuclear deployment.

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]
