A groundswell in public approval of nuclear is finding a home in growing governmental support that is backed by a tailwind of technological innovation. “Now is a good time to be in nuclear,” Hashemian said, as he explained the criticality of this moment and what he hoped to accomplish as president.

This panel session will highlight current and emergent issues in consensus standards, with a focus on industry needs for standards actions. The topics will also include: moving from risk informed to performance based standards; harmonization among ANS standards and between ANS standards and standards from other SDOs; digital twins as an adjunct to licensing by test; potential for standards action for System-Theoretic Process Analysis; perspectives by several ANS Consensus Committees; and may include perspectives from ASME, EPRI, IEEE, INPO, NEI, ISO and regulators. The Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Principles and Policy Committee (RP3C) has participated in organizing this panel.
