Former NRC commissioners lend support to efforts to eliminate mandatory hearings
A group of nine former nuclear regulatory commissioners sent a letter Wednesday to the current Nuclear Regulatory Commission members lending support to efforts to get rid of mandatory hearings in the licensing process, which should speed up the process by three to six months and save millions of dollars.

Multiphase thermal-hydraulics, such as boiling flows, plays an important role in nuclear safety and reactor design. However, its understanding, facilitated by both computation and experiment, is still relatively modest as a result of complexities encountered in multiphase modeling and measurement. In this panel session, leading multiphase modelers and experimentalists will join in a discussion to identify current multiphase thermal-hydraulic challenges, and to propose new ideas on how to address those. Specific attention is paid to the synergy between modeling and experiment, and to the role that AI may play in the path forward towards safer and more efficient reactor design.
