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.

Apparatus for the detection and measurement of small amounts of deuterium in small-sized samples by the photoneutron reaction is described. With a 25-Ci 24Na gamma-ray source, a net response of 7 counts/ min per microgram of deuterium in sample sizes from 0.1 to 1.0 ml is obtained. The lower detection limit in such samples is ∼1.7 µg of deuterium, or the amount in 0.05 ml of natural water.
