NRC reorganization update: Changes will begin this summer
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is moving forward with its plans to reorganize around three core business lines: new reactors, operating reactors, and nuclear materials and waste. In order to do that, the agency will establish two new offices: the Office of Advanced Reactors (OAR) and the Office of the Chief Nuclear Reactor Inspector (CNRI).

The objective of this panel is to spark a conversation on how ANS and the nuclear industry can promote and progress the use of nuclear energy for decarbonizing the commercial maritime industry. The panelists will lay out the current state, use cases, motivation, and challenges of civil marine nuclear deployment from the perspectives of reactor design & manufacturing, nuclear and maritime regulation, operator training, and end users & stakeholders. Panelists will focus on gaps in implementation plans to drive discussion of where ANS and its members could most effectively participate; for example, leading public education or other civil or government stakeholder engagement, or convening a related working group.
