SUMMARY:Nuclear Power for the Modern Grid
DESCRIPTION:The Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) will host a webinar on  Nuclear Power for the Modern Grid on 24 June from 1200 to 1300 EDT. \nElectric power production in the United States faces challenges on several fronts. This includes the near-term retirement of aging coal-fired power plants\, grid stability challenges arising from increased penetration of variable power generators\, regional energy imbalances\, and the need for more carbon-free power to meet government mandates. \nThe reliability and resilience of power production systems are also gaining attention and thought must be given to hardening power generation systems against natural events such as severe weather events and the potential for man-made events such as aircraft impact\, cybersecurity attacks\, or electro-magnetic pulses. \nThis webinar explores nuclear power and small modular reactors and discusses associated implementation challenges as part the US transformation to a 21st century power grid. \nThe keynote speaker for this webinar is Dr. José N. Reyes\, Jr.\, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer for NuScale Power. He is also Professor Emeritus at the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering at Oregon State University. He is an internationally recognized expert on passive safety system design\, testing\, and operations for nuclear power plants. He has also served as a United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) technical expert on passive safety systems.

SUMMARY:Review of Governance Reform in the National Nuclear Security Administration Final Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies of Science\, Engineering and Medicine\, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences\, Laboratory Assessments Board will convene in a closed session virtual event on June 25-26\, 2020 for the Review of Governance Reform in the National Nuclear Security Administration. \nConcerns have been raised for decades about the governance and management of the U.S. nuclear security enterprise. The FY2016 National Defense Authorization Act calls for the National Academies\, in partnership with the National Academy of Public Administration\, to track and assess progress over 2016-2020 to reform governance and management of the enterprise. \nFor additional details\, please contact Shenae Bradley (202) 334-2293 sbradley@nas.edu. \n/// \nRelated: Report 4 on Tracking and Assessing Governance and Management Reform in the Nuclear Security Enterprise \n\n\n\nThe Nuclear Security Enterprise consists of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) plus a large\, distributed system of laboratories\, production plants\, and other sites that are staffed by personnel working under management and operating contracts. In collaboration with the National Academy of Public Administration\, Report 4 on Tracking and Assessing Governance and Management Reform in the Nuclear Security Enterprise evaluates the implementation plan developed by the National Nuclear Security Administration and Department of Energy in response to the FY2016 National Defense Authorization Act\, and the subsequent implementation of such plan. The recommendations of this report will guide the NNSA as they reform management culture to a culture of performance\, accountability\, and credibility that is mission-driven. \n\n\n\n  \n
