ANS Winter Meeting & Expo

Sessions you won't want to miss!   ANS President's Special Session   Long-Term Operation of the U.S. Commercial Nuclear Fleet - Sustaining a National Asset Monday, November 9 · 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.   Nuclear energy has safely, reliably, and economically contributed almost 20% of electrical generation in the U.S. over the past two decades. It remains the single largest contributor (more than 60%) of non-greenhouse-gas-emitting power. If nuclear power plants do not operate beyond their current license periods (and new plants are not built quickly enough to replace them), the total fraction of electrical energy from clean nuclear power will rapidly decline. Senior nuclear industry leaders and energy policy experts will discuss policy issues associated with long-term operation of the U.S. commercial nuclear fleet, including second license renewal.   Session Organizers: Kathryn McCarthy (Idaho National Laboratory) and Angelina Howard (Howard - Johnson Associates)   Panelists: Carol M. Browner (Nuclear Matters Leadership Council), Joseph Dominguez (Executive Vice President, Governmental and Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy, Exelon Corporation),David A.
