NRC looks to leverage previous approvals for large LWRs
During this time of resurging interest in nuclear power, many conversations have centered on one fundamental problem: Electricity is needed now, but nuclear projects (in recent decades) have taken many years to get permitted and built.
In the past few years, a bevy of new strategies have been pursued to fix this problem. Workforce programs that seek to laterally transition skilled people from other industries, plans to reuse the transmission infrastructure at shuttered coal sites, efforts to restart plants like Palisades or Duane Arnold, new reactor designs that build on the legacy of research done in the early days of atomic power—all of these plans share a common throughline: leveraging work already done instead of starting over from square one to get new plants designed and built.

The aims, the main characteristics and the organisation of the European Community Fusion programme are outlined. The content of the programme in the physics area is presented, with particular emphasis on results obtained after the Baltimore conference (September 1982). The fusion technology programme and NET are dealt with in some more detail. Finally the present status of international cooperation between the Community fusion programme and other large fusion programmes in the world is reviewed.
