NRC commissioners talk reforms, roles at Day 1 of RIC 2026
Even a last-minute cancelation from Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright could not derail the optimism permeating day 1 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s annual Regulatory Information Conference (RIC).
The optimistic theme came up several times during the morning plenary sessions that highlighted Tuesday’s agenda. The NRC commissioners who spoke said the optimism was a result of the “nuclear renaissance” they are encountering that feels different from past nuclear-related revivals that didn’t materialize.

Due to the expensive software of full scope simulator and extensive work to model and debug, it spends a great deal manufacturing the full scope simulator. Meanwhile, the software of simulator used at home is mostly developed by other companies while domestic research about simulator focuses on the application of software. However, the core of the full scope simulator is software. In the paper, the full scope simulator platform and the core calculation model are developed with the parallel distributed simulation design, modularized structure, and the C-S framework. The nuclear power plant system program, physical computation program and and severe accident simulation used in simulation are modified based on these of the COSINE program package. The other calculation programs are designed, developed and verified independently. Finally, a fully autonomous simulation simulator, cosMuse is built.
