The plan: This year’s conference will focus on adapting to the changing landscape, starting with an address from NRC chair Christopher T. Hanson, during which he will share his observations and priorities for the agency.
Hanson also will host a conversation on March 14 with Lydie Evrard, deputy director general and head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security at the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“The RIC is the most significant and well-attended NRC event of the year,” said Hanson. “It gives attendees the opportunity to learn about the NRC's important safety and security mission and to share perspectives from inside and outside the agency and from around the world."
There’s more: Other program highlights include plenary sessions with NRC commissioners David A. Wright, Annie Caputo, and Bradley R. Crowell. RIC plenary sessions will also include remarks by Ray Furstenau, the NRC’s acting executive director for operations; Andrea Veil, director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation; and John Tappert, acting director of the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
The conference, which is free to the public, is jointly hosted by the NRC’s offices of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and Nuclear Regulatory Research.
