Fixing the barriers: How new policies can make U.S. nuclear exports competitive again
The United States has a strong marketplace of ideas on future civil nuclear technology. President Trump wants to see 10 large reactors under construction by 2030 and has discussed making $80 billion available for that objective. Evolutionary small modular reactors based on light water reactor technology are on the market now, and the Tennessee Valley Authority expects a construction permit for a project at its Clinch River Site later this year.

The panel will feature examples of standards projects that are risk-informed performance-based and applicable to advanced reactors. Attendees will walk away motivated to get involved and equipped with the knowledge of how to make it happen.
