House subcommittee OKs six nuclear permitting reform bills
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Energy introduced six nuclear permitting reform bills back in June. The mostly bipartisan bills returned to the subcommittee on Tuesday for markups—and with strong backing from both sides of the aisle.

Practicing engineers should demand more from our education system, the engineering profession, and ourselves. Licensure is the mark of a professional. It is a standard recognized by employers and their clients, by governments and by the public as an assurance of dedication, skill, and quality. Why should we settle for anything less? This webinar provides an overview of the licensing process. Panelists from across the industry discussed the importance of professional licensure and the role nuclear professionals play to protect the health and safety of the public.
