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.

A chemical process has been developed for the separation of 243Am from 244Cm for use in the production of kilogram quantities of 244Cm. In the process, americium is oxidized to ion in concentrated K2CO3 solution, and K3AmO2(CO3)2 is precipitated; Cm(III) is not oxidized and remains as a soluble complex in the carbonate solution. A study of the variables affecting the separation is reported.
