Solving Industry Issues
NFC members have identified over 200 technical issues and concerns that need addressed.
These encompass safety enhancement, construction cost reduction, capacity development,
certification and qualification, compliance with codes and standards, workforce training and development, knowledge management, and materials and manufacturing technologies.
Selected issues include:
— Estimation of the construction cost savings, quality improvements, and
export opportunities if the current state-of-the-art technology can be
employed.
— Development of advanced manufacturing and fabrication of systems and
components to address enhanced performance requirements and contain
manufacturing and construction costs
— Fabrication and inspection improvements to assure integrity and reliability
of new fuel rod materials and designs
— A workshop series focused on US and international specifications for
materials and fabrication requirements to provide a platform for US
competitiveness in the global market for systems and components
— Development and implementation of welder and inspector training
tools/programs to establish the workforce ready to respond to new nuclear
projects
