New laws offer nuclear industry incentives for existing power plant uprates
This year, the U.S. nuclear industry received a much-needed economic boost that could help preserve operating nuclear power plants and incentivize upgrades that extend their lifespan and power output.
Signed into law in 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act offers production tax credits (PTCs) for existing nuclear power plants and either PTCs or investment tax credits (ITCs) for new carbon-free generation. These credits could make power uprates—increasing the maximum power level at which a commercial plant may operate—a much more appealing option for utilities.

Thank you for participating in Advanced Reactor Safety (ARS)!
The Proceedings of ARS are now available to all who registered for the conference. Access to the Proceedings is linked to the account you used to register for ARS/the 2024 ANS Annual Conference/ARS.
You can also access the Proceedings by logging in to the ANS website and then:
The recent acceleration in advanced reactor licensing efforts, both for non-light water designs (e.g., Aurora, Hermes, Natrium, Xe-100, eVinci) and for light water designs (e.g., NuScale, BWRX-300, SMR-160), will naturally result in new and interesting safety-related research. This conference provides the advanced nuclear industry a venue to share their safety approaches and research. The Advanced Reactor Safety (ARS) conference, formerly entitled the International Topical Meeting on Advanced Reactor Safety and first held in 1994, is one of two conferences the Nuclear Installations Safety Division (NISD) has historically sponsored to support information sharing and networking across the safety community. ARS 2024 will be of interest to those working in both deterministic and probabilistic safety approaches for various applications. The meeting welcomes the submission of full-length technical papers, which will be peer reviewed and published as conference proceedings.
You are invited to submit your work for a special issue of the ANS journal Nuclear Technology or to the ANS publication platform Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research. Click the + for more information.
ARS 2024 has partnered with the ANS journal Nuclear Technology (NT) to publish a special issue of papers derived from the conference. Additionally, should you choose not to pursue journal publication, we invite you to consider submitting to 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 editor listed below or submit directly via the links below.
**Submission window: open now with a final deadline of September 15, 2024.

Submittal instructions:
Please consider the scopes of the journals when deciding where to submit.
Nuclear Technology welcomes submissions that explore all phases of applications of fundamental research to nuclear technology.Submit to NT – 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 – Questions? Email nstor@ans.org.
Thank you again for attending ARS 2024, and we hope you participate in this special issue opportunity!
Our very best,Mihai Diaconeasa, guest editor, ARS 2024 publications chair, madiacon@ncsu.eduYassin Hassan, Nuclear Technology editor-in-chief, y-hassan@tamu.edu
