NRC adopts ROP updates
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved a significant overhaul of its Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) baseline inspection program that stresses a leaner, more risk-focused inspection process.
This adoption comes just over a month after NRC officials published their findings on the proposed ROP changes. The changes would reduce the number of hours spent annually on direct inspections at U.S. nuclear power plants by 38 percent.

The electric utility industry has set ambitious ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals, with most utilizes aiming to be carbon neutral by midcentury. As a key resource in a clean energy system, advanced nuclear power reactors provide zero carbon emissions, reduced water usage, and waste minimization while providing flexible generating capacity needed to ensure electric system reliability. This panel will explore emerging reactor technologies and their potential to support ESG and resilience goals, offering perspectives across the entire fuel cycle.
