In an international industry, regulators cross the border too
Since nuclear physics works the same in Ontario as it does in Tennessee, the industry has been trying to create a reactor that can be deployed on both sides of the border. Now, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission have decided that some of their rulings can cross the border too.

What's in a Name? Making the case for America's state-of-the-art facilities State-of-the-art facilities attract talent, creativity and collaboration. Without sustained investment, America's scientific infrastructure cannot support world-class learning, research or technology commercialization. This session aims to distinguish development from deployment activities and to articulate the particular contributions that universities, national laboratories and private companies make to assert American leadership in the global nuclear enterprise.
