Efficient, predictable, and modernized licensing processes are critical to the timely deployment of both new nuclear technologies and upgrades to the current fleet. Building on the bipartisan momentum of the ADVANCE Act and recent executive actions to reform and streamline federal permitting, this panel will explore how NRC licensing reform can reduce unnecessary delays, enhance clarity for applicants, and enable a more agile, performance-based regulatory framework that supports innovation and strengthens the role of nuclear in America’s clean energy future.
