What’s reshaping nuclear licensing and compliance today?
Mark Reidmeyer
It is the convergence of urgency, innovation, and modernization that is reshaping nuclear licensing and compliance today.
For decades, nuclear licensing operated in a relatively stable environment built around large light water reactors, predictable review cycles, and well-established regulatory pathways. Today, that model is evolving rapidly. Advanced reactors, AI-enabled tools, digital engineering platforms, grid reliability concerns, and aggressive decarbonization goals are all pushing the industry—and regulators—to move faster and think differently.

Dynamic nondestructive inspection of optically opaque systems can be accomplished using a dynamic radiography technique with thermal neutrons as the illuminating radiation. Dynamic radiography correlates the useful information in scattered radiation from vibrating objects. The information generally takes the form of three-dimensional frequency spectra profiles. Such data give the mechanical condition of objects. Thermal-neutron scattering from eccentrically rotating plastic pegs shows that single-point system correlation sensitivity can indicate the presence of pegs in. in diameter. Pulsed polyethylene cube experiments emphasize the effects of object nonrigidity on correlation to show how sensitive dynamic-neutron radiography is to changes in the mechanical quality of nonrigid hydrogenous materials.
