X-energy, Dow apply to build an advanced reactor project in Texas
Dow and X-energy announced today that they have submitted a construction permit application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a proposed advanced nuclear project in Seadrift, Texas. The project could begin construction later this decade, but only if Dow confirms “the ability to deliver the project while achieving its financial return targets.”

You are invited to submit your work for special issues of the ANS journals Nuclear Science and Engineering and Nuclear Technology or to the ANS publication platform Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research. Click the + for more information.
The NPIC&HMIT 2023 and PSA 2023 conferences have partnered with ANS journals Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) and Nuclear Technology (NT) to publish special issues of papers derived from the conferences. Additionally, should you choose not to pursue journal publication, we invite you to consider submitting to the special collections on the ANS online platform Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research (NSTOR). See below or click here for more information on NSTOR.
If interested, please contact the guest editors listed below or submit directly via the links below.
**Submission window: open now with a final deadline of March 31, 2024

Submittal instructions:
Please consider the scopes of the journals when deciding where to submit.
Nuclear Science and Engineering welcomes submissions that explore basic and fundamental research in all areas related to nuclear science and engineering. Submit to Nuclear Science & Engineering – Questions? Email nse@ans.org.
Nuclear Technology welcomes submissions that explore all phases of applications of fundamental research to nuclear technology. Submit to Nuclear Technology – Questions? Email nt@ans.org.
Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research welcomes submissions where authors prefer, or funders require, a fully open publication venue for research articles, and/or where authors would like to submit article types not typically supported by archival journals (e.g., brief reports, method articles, data notes, posters/presentations). Submit to NSTOR NPIC&HMIT 2023 | PSA 2023 – Questions? Email nstor@ans.org.
Thank you again for attending NPIC&HMIT 2023 and PSA 2023, and we hope you participate in this special issue opportunity!

Thank you for participating in the 13th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control & Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2023)!
The Proceedings of NPIC&HMIT 2023 are now available to all who registered for the conference. Access to the Proceedings is linked to the account you used to register for the meeting.
You can also access the Proceedings by logging in to the ANS website and then:
NPIC&HMIT is the de facto forum for nuclear instrumentation and control (I&C) and human factors engineering (HFE) professionals to meet with leaders in industry and academia, discover the state of the technology, exchange information, and discuss future directions. In addition to an impressive list of government and industry leaders, we are also planning several outstanding hot-topic technical sessions and popular plenary speakers, which will attract professionals from across the nation and internationally.
