Limited Capacity
Two Day Workshop: June 14 & 15
Cost: $400 (includes both days)
This workshop will be focused on various aspects of the design and implementation process of Digital I&C systems for nuclear facilities, including HFE specific considerations. An array of experts from across the nuclear industry will provide presentations covering 1) lessons learned from utilities, vendors, and regulators working through the design, qualification, licensing, and implementation of Digital I&C upgrades within the current fleet of nuclear reactors, 2) recent research and focus areas from national and international organizations as it relates to Digital I&C, such as the potential applications for artificial intelligence, and 3) an overview of the future landscape as it relates to advanced reactor designs. This workshop is designed for entry-level as well as senior technical and management personnel in utilities, vendors, government, national labs, and universities.
