Video Recording of NRC RIC 2023 Technical Session: International Collaboration on New Reactor Licensing
Global interest in small modular reactors and advanced reactors continues to grow as many countries look to address climate change, electrification, energy security, and new applications such as process heat. As vendors around the world develop new technologies, many ministries, regulators, international organizations, industry groups, and vendors have called for broader collaboration in design review and licensing among regulatory bodies. Cooperation among international partners provides opportunities to improve efficiency in reviews, contributing to data validation and verification efforts, and sharing differing or unique perspectives and regulatory approaches to improve nuclear safety. This session will bring together diverse representatives to discuss how their organizations are working to increase international cooperation related to small modular reactors and advanced reactors while maintaining each regulator’s independence and respecting national sovereignty.
