Opinion: The overruling of the Chevron Doctrine—A call for proactive engagement by technical organizations
The recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Chevron doctrine marks a significant shift in the landscape of federal decision-making. For more than 40 years, this doctrine has provided a framework wherein courts deferred to federal agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous laws in recognition of the specialized expertise these agencies bring to policy and regulatory development.

Session Organizer:
Alternate Chair:
Erhard W. Koehler
The Future of Nuclear Maritime Propulsion is the second in a series of sessions sponsored by DESD. At the 2023 Winter Meeting we will discuss the potential future of non-naval nuclear propulsion and floating offshore nuclear power generation, the opportunities for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and the challenges with licensing these vessels for international commerce. Recent Department of Energy grants have spurred interest in this subject. These grants and other opportunities will also be discussed during this session.
