Optional Training Session

Change Control (Squared) – Reinforcing Current Guidance and Preparing for New Rules - Monday, May 11

Join us for a comprehensive and forward-looking training on managing changes under Part 72 with confidence and efficiency. This course delivers practical, experience-based guidance on applying 10 CFR 72.48 and NEI 12-04 to both licensee- and Certificate of Compliance (CoC) holder–initiated changes. Participants will also explore strategies for adapting licenses and CoCs to evolving regulatory requirements, including those stemming from Executive Order 14300.

Expanded content now includes critical, risk-informed and emerging industry topics, such as:

• Risk insights applied to used fuel management, including: Dry storage aging management programs and long-term storage considerations
  • Incorporating probabilistic and risk-informed thinking into Part 72 change evaluations
• Regulatory and design considerations for transportable microreactors, including their intersection with Part 72 requirements
• Alternative performance metrics and technical evaluation approaches, including:
  • Gross rupture considerations
  • Thermal margin assessment and optimization

Through practical examples, lessons learned, and implementation-focused discussion, attendees will gain tools to strengthen technical bases, improve evaluation quality, and streamline regulatory interactions — all while maintaining safety and compliance.

If you are responsible for licensing, design control, regulatory affairs, or used fuel management, this is a training you do not want to miss.
