Data Validation and Reconciliation (DVR) remains one of the most effective technologies for reducing core thermal power measurement uncertainty and enabling Measurement Uncertainty Recapture (MUR) uprates. GSE's DVR for MUR solution can allow utilities to recover 15–20 MWe of additional generation capacity, delivering millions of dollars in annual revenue while improving measurement accuracy. GSE will share the latest industry developments, including lessons learned from first-of-a-kind (FOAK) applications, the status of a recent License Amendment Request (LAR), and how utilities are advancing DVR implementation. Join GSE's experts to learn what's changed, what we've learned, and what it means for the future of DVR for MUR.
