Innovation today comes from many sources and takes a variety of forms. We’ve comprised an expert panel who will provide innovation insight from their organization’s perspective. These include participants from commercial nuclear sites, non-nuclear organizations, and strategic vendors. Topics include Innovation over the long term – Insights from customer perspective in reinventing itself for sustainability, developing a Roadmap for Effective Modernization from commercial nuclear utility CNO perspective, transformational insights from a non-nuclear perspective, innovative lessons learned in the process of re-starting a commercial plant, and the benefits as well as lessons learned from the implementation of digital twins. The panel members will provide introductory insights into each of their innovation strategies as well the expectations for their organization and then provide a forum for open questions and answers.
