Nuclear power’s new rule book: Managing uncertainty in efficiency, safety, and independence
The U.S. nuclear industry is standing at its most volatile regulatory moment yet—one that will shape the trajectory and the safety of the industry for decades to come. Recent judicial, legislative, and executive actions are rewriting the rules governing the licensing and regulation of nuclear power reactors. Although these changes are intended to promote and accelerate the deployment of new nuclear energy technologies, the collision of multiple legal shifts—occurring simultaneously and intersecting with profound technological uncertainties—is overwhelming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and threatening to destabilize investor and industry expectations.

ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
The United States has the most advanced reactor innovators in the world. New designs are being developed from microreactors (a few megawatt electric) to large gigawatt-class machines with all sizes in between. Different technologies are being explored and different applications, both commercial and non-commercial. It is truly an exciting time with developer activity and customer interest. Are you familiar with how many projects are underway? Are you familiar with the various designs or potential uses for advanced reactors? This webinar provides an overview of advanced reactors, the ongoing projects, their potential uses, and fuel cycle prospects.
