Keeping up with Kewaunee
In October 2012, Dominion Energy announced it was closing the Kewaunee nuclear power plant, a two-loop 574-MWe pressurized water reactor located about 27 miles southeast of Green Bay, Wis., on the western shore of Lake Michigan. At the time, Dominion said the plant was running well, but that low wholesale electricity prices in the region made it uneconomical to continue operation of the single-unit merchant power plant.

There is a strong history of efforts to reduce country’s stockpiles of nuclear weapons and the technology advancements of how to verify that these agreements were upheld. In this session we will explore the history of nuclear arms control agreements: the environment at the time, terms of the agreement, the verifications systems set-up, and their impact. Following a historical discussion, we will hear from experts in the field to talk about new technologies to monitor agreements.
