Westinghouse delegation visits Congress to “sell” AP1000 nuclear technology
Dozens of Westinghouse employees and supply chain partners descended on Washington, D.C., last week to build legislative support for new nuclear projects.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Plant Reliability
Monday, August 5, 2024|9:30–11:00AM EDT|Banyan 2
Our industry is at a pivotal point. The US looks to decarbonize the generation industry at a time when load projections indicate an unprecedented increase in power demand over the next few decades. In this environment, the demand signal for nuclear power is extremely high. To meet the moment, our existing fleet continues to push for high levels of plant performance to maximize the output of clean megawatts to the grid. Plant capacity factors at all-time highs have demonstrated the collective success achieved in the reliability of our plants. However, an unrelenting focus on equipment reliability is critical to ensure sustained high levels of performance during this crucial time for our industry. This session will bring both INPO and utility perspectives on the need to “stay on top” of equipment reliability as an industry to continue to achieve high levels of performance. The discussion will provide fresh perspective on where the industry stands with addressing INPO actions from IER 21-4, share in-depth analysis of the increase trends in consequential, and share how a utility has built an equipment reliability program that is forward-looking and also adaptable to industry feedback to achieve the highest levels of plant reliability.
