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.

Recent developments concerning the mechanism for volume diffusion of xenon in UO2 and the defects observed in irradiated UO2 by electron microscopy are reviewed with detailed reference to recent results obtained at Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory (CRNL). An earlier interpretation for xenon diffusion in a matrix containing pre-existing and irradiation induced trapping sites is extended.
