All beneficial applications of nuclear technology -- energy, medicine, space, and industrial -- are tied inextricably to federal, state, and international laws, regulations, and funding. However, the larger geopolitical environment in which policy is made seems to change daily. Panelists from across the nuclear policymaking sphere will dig into the major issues of the day and shed light on the longer-term implications.
This panel will reconvene for a follow-up post-election discussion in person at next month's 2024 ANS Winter Conference and Expo in Orlando on Monday, November 18. Learn more.
