The Science, Space and Technology Committee in the House has focused heavily on a number of energy and nuclear focused activities to support the US nuclear industry domestically. There are a number of nuclear supportive legislations that have resulted from this committee including the legislation to support the Advanced Reactor Deployment Program (ARDP). The opportunities

There are a number of challenges facing the nuclear industry when it comes to rapidly deploying nuclear energy technologies to meet growing energy needs. Artificial Intelligence has progressed to a point where it can provide significant benefits to the nuclear industry particularly in streamlining the time and resources necessary to perform certain functions such as

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has made significant progress in recent years to update the regulations to adapt to the incoming wave of new reactor designs from small modular reactors and microreactors to advanced reactor designs. There are new licensing frameworks being developed to enable the licensing of new reactors to meet demand needs

As the US Government moves to support nuclear fission and fusion strongly, new public-private partnerships agreements have been made that reflect performance-based, fixed-price milestone contracts. Initially demonstrated with significant success in the space industry between NASA and SpaceX, these milestones based contracts can enable significant advancements in nuclear reactor demonstration projects as well as nuclear

Nuclear energy has gained unprecedented international focus. The conversation around nuclear has changed fundamentally towards finding pathways to enable nuclear. Previously, conversations were still centered around whether nuclear would be the right technology choice for the energy needs of the future, but it has largely been accepted now that nuclear will be a significant key
