Electronuclear, which owns and operates Brazil’s nuclear power plants, is taking steps to implement the Brazil 10-year energy plan, which includes extending the Angra 1 operating license to 2044 and completing construction of Angra 3 by 2026.
Abstract from Steven P. Kraft:
The short answer is ‘yes!’ Nuclear energy will have a brilliant future in the U.S. if a nuclear industry collaboration with the federal government addresses a critical set of complex, interrelated issues. The partnership will need to be based on a common purpose that transcends the political cycle, and yet also relies on strong, consistent political leadership at all levels.
Abstract from Jerud E. Hanson:
In this paper I will discuss the benefits of engaging with commercial nuclear power utilities, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and DOE National Laboratories to explore the use of innovative security technologies to sustain the commercial nuclear power industry.
Abstract from Jerud E. Hanson and G. G. Young:
This paper will demonstrate the long-term economic and environmental benefits of extending the operation of the U.S.’s nuclear reactors to 80 years, and will provide perspective from those U.S. utilities that intend to pursue second license renewal (SLR.)
