Nuclear Energy: REGULATORY TRENDS FOR 2016
, Hosted By Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
Thursday, January 28, 2016 - 5:00 AM
The nuclear energy industry faces substantial pressures that have increased the cost of nuclear power generation and reduced the costs of competing sources of generation. Some plants are being permanently shut down, the growth of new plants in the United States has slowed, and a near-term permanent repository for spent nuclear fuel remains elusive. Congress, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the industry are all reacting to these trends.
What are the regulatory implications of these trends for 2016?
Join us for a one-hour webinar about the changing nuclear regulatory environment and the prospects for improvement over the coming years.
Topics will include:
bullet Congressional Action
bullet Evolution of NRC Leadership and Organization
bullet Regulatory Factors Affecting the Economics of Operating Plants
bullet New Nuclear Power Plants
bullet Spent Fuel Storage and Disposal
bullet Decommissioning
