Nuclear materials testing project brings U.S. and U.K. expertise together
As nations look to nuclear energy as a source of reliable electricity and heat, researchers and industry are developing a new generation of nuclear reactors to fill the need. These advanced nuclear reactors will provide safe, efficient, and economical power that go beyond what the current large light water reactors can do.
But before large-scale deployment of advanced reactors, researchers need to understand and test the safety and performance of the technologies—especially the coolants and materials—that make them possible.
Now, the United States and the United Kingdom have teamed up to test hundreds of advanced nuclear materials.
Executive Session|Panel
Tuesday, November 15, 2022|3:15–5:00PM MST|Eucalyptus
Session Chairs:
Julianne McCallum (Data and Analysis Specialist, Nuclear Energy Institute)
Benjamin Cipiti (Principal Member of the Technical Staff, Sandia)
Session Organizers:
Alexandra Siwy (Nuclear Engineer, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission)
Rani Franovich (Senior Policy Advisor to the Nuclear Energy Innovation team, Breakthrough Institute)
Prasad Kadambi (Director, Kadambi Engineering Consultants)
We hear about the innovations in the advanced reactors space and the need to support the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as we work to deploy new reactors. How is the industry discussing the modernization of licensing frameworks to be risk-informed and performance-based for the future of advanced reactors? Join us for a panel discussion.
