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 dynamic method to study the release of fission gases from fuel specimens during irradiation is presented. The main purpose of the work is to show how a dynamic method can discriminate between diffusion and diffusion-trapping processes by observing the different behavior of the release rate transfer function, with respect to neutron flux oscillations, for the two models.
