Nano to begin drilling next week in Illinois
It’s been a good month for Nano Nuclear in the state of Illinois. On October 7, the Office of Governor J.B. Pritzker announced that the company would be awarded $6.8 million from the Reimagining Energy and Vehicles in Illinois Act to help fund the development of its new regional research and development facility in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Plant Reliability
Tuesday, August 6, 2024|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Banyan 2
Programs Engineering plays a central role in nuclear utility’s ability to operate plants reliably and consistent with regulatory requirements. However, the importance of these programs and innovation opportunities within them can be overlooked based on factors such as the US nuclear industry’s excellent safety performance over the last 20+ years and lack of historical perspective resulting from a shifting nuclear workforce age demographic. This session will demonstrate why a strong Programs Engineering Organization is critical to plant reliability. The session will provide a historical perspective for many of the programs, why they still matter utilities look to push plant life to 80 or 100 years to bridge the gap to next generation nuclear deployment, and what innovations are occurring within utility programs to enhance plant reliability, reduce costs, and ensure safe, clean energy for decades to come.
