The objective of this session is to provide a discussion on the nuclear industry Plant License Renewal innovations, practices, challenges, and successes. The result would be to provide a better understanding of what is needed to make NPP fleet assets the long-lived platform necessary to develop other innovative roles for nuclear. Areas to be examined include: (1) Lessons Learned; (2) Big Hurdles; (3) Hidden Obstacles; and (4) Challenges that need Industry solutions. Plans for this session include a panel composed of Utility and Industry stakeholders from various levels within the organizations to discuss potential aspects of PLR followed by a facilitated discussion with the participants and attendees.
