60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

Nuclear criticality safety process analysis is required to determine that the entire process will be subcritical under both normal and credible abnormal upsets. The analysis documents generated tend to focus on the operating process and does not always address infrequent activities like preventative and/or corrective maintenance. Panelists will discuss the interface of NCS and maintenance activities at their facility.
