Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Innovation
Monday, August 5, 2024|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Banyan 1
Session topics will focus on the integration of advanced technologies in nuclear power plants (NPPs) to enhance safety and efficiency. Specifically, the adoption of AI, remote devices, and innovative engineering to reduce costs and risks associated with high radiation environments. Discussion on the application of automated devices, like fire carts, at NPPs, detailing the benefits of reduced personnel requirements and improved risk profiles. The session will include real-world examples from U.S. NPP fleets and discuss collaborations with regulatory bodies such as the DOE, DOD, and IAEA.
