NEI is hosting a two-day forum to discuss technical, environmental, economic, political and regulatory issues surrounding the operation of nuclear power plants to 80 years and beyond. Industry, academic and government leaders will lead discussions in the following areas: R&D plans and projects for materials aging research; environmental benefits of continued operation and the consequences of early shutdown; economic analysis and community benefits of long-term operation both from a local, state and national perspective; new technology for extended safe operation; regulatory structure for subsequent license renewal; effective communication strategies; energy supply security and reliability; and international perspectives on long-term operation. This forum, the first of its kind, will seek to provide the broadest possible view of this important topic and equip the attendee with the most up-to-date and relevant data and perspectives. In addition, networking opportunities will be provided to meet government, research and industry leaders in the long-term operation community of interest.
