NRC adopts ROP updates
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved a significant overhaul of its Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) baseline inspection program that stresses a leaner, more risk-focused inspection process.
This adoption comes just over a month after NRC officials published their findings on the proposed ROP changes. The changes would reduce the number of hours spent annually on direct inspections at U.S. nuclear power plants by 38 percent.

Recent disruptions to the supply of stable and radioactive isotopes have emerged due to geopolitical activities. As well, concerted efforts in the U.S. and internationally over the past few decades have aimed to address growing concerns over isotopes. This panel discussion focuses on efforts to meet demand for isotopes through various methods, such as HALEU reactor-based and accelerator-based production, including plans and progress on development of new production techniques and facilities.
