Navigating the Licensing Pathway Maze: Advanced reactor developers face a rapidly evolving NRC licensing landscape, including established pathways under Parts 50 and 52 and new and emerging frameworks such as Parts 53 and 57. Developers with direct experience will discuss how they evaluate licensing options, engage with regulators, manage uncertainty, and align regulatory strategy with project delivery.
What you'll gain:
Discover decision criteria for selecting between NRC licensing pathways (Parts 50, 52, 53, and 57), learn pre-application engagement strategies that reduce regulatory uncertainty, and hear what developers wish they had known earlier about timelines, resources, application strategy, and regulatory risk management.
Who should attend:
Advanced reactor developers planning NRC submissions, licensing managers and regulatory affairs professionals at utilities and operators, legal counsel advising nuclear companies, investors evaluating regulatory risk, and NRC staff supporting advanced reactor reviews.
