As advanced nuclear technologies emerge and the urgent need for clean, reliable energy intensifies, reforming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is more imperative than ever. Building on the momentum of the bipartisan ADVANCE Act and bold executive actions to modernize federal permitting and licensing, this panel will explore how accelerating NRC reform can unlock the next era of nuclear deployment, not only by enabling the timely licensing and commercialization of advanced reactors, but also by supporting the continued operation, uprating, and life extension of the existing nuclear fleet.
