ANS Members Only
A complimentary webinar for ANS members. Hosted by ANS's Communications Committee.
The global demand for clean and reliable power has driven the globalization of nuclear technology. 10CFR810 (or Part 810) is a regulation borne from the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (as amended), Section 57b, which describes the authority of the US Secretary of Energy to authorize technology transfer for nuclear technologies which may produce fissile material. A typical Light Water Reactor (LWR) produces plutonium during a normal depletion, so the scope of Part 810 has been applied to the international LWR new plant market. The regulation is currently undergoing rulemaking to update, clarify, and modernize it. This session will describe the scope of 10CFR810, the rulemaking that is in process, and how ANS is engaged in providing industry guidance on compliance with 10CFR810.
