Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Plant Reliability
Monday, August 5, 2024|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Banyan 2
The increasing trend in extreme weather events disrupting the electric grid has resulted in environmental resiliency becoming a focal point for energy providers and regulatory agencies. To this effect, INPO recently release a principles document, INPO 24-003 (Resiliency – Strengthening Defenses Against External Forces) and a Tier 2 guidance document specifically associated with assessing climate vulnerabilities, INPO 24-002 (Climate Vulnerability Assessment).
This session will provide perspective on these INPO documents and discuss next steps for utilities to ensure environmental resiliency. The session will also address a specific challenge one utility is facing due to the changes in the local environment, which is directly affecting the supply of cooling water to the station. Finally, the session will discuss challenges in the management of the seasonal readiness process and potential impacts on plant reliability.
