T6 Design to Assembly Line: Understanding High-Volume Nuclear Reactor Licensing
To enable economies of scale for new advanced reactors, including microreactors, the NRC is streamlining highvolume licensing processes to reduce timelines and support efficient deployment. The session will discuss staff activities to optimize regulatory reviews for standardized designs, manage approval of multiple projects simultaneously, and ensure that innovative nuclear technologies can be brought online faster. There is significant industry and market interest in rapid, highvolume deployment of new technologies, potentially with deployment in 6 months from site identification. This session will provide a forum for interested parties to learn about what the NRC and industry are doing in this exciting area to achieve this goal.
