Evolving Nuclear Technology and Regulation: Lessons Learned from Fukushima
Aug. 3, 2011
Bipartisan Policy Center
UPDATE: Read a blog post recapping the event here.
During the more than forty years of commercial nuclear power operations in the U.S., a few watershed events have driven significant changes in Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations and nuclear industry operations. Lessons learned from the 1975 Brown’s Ferry Fire, the 1979 Three Mile Island accident, and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks have strengthened policies and practices based on improved understanding of nuclear safety and security.
As the events surrounding the Fukushima Dai-ichi incident become clearer, efforts are already underway at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, within industry, and among other stakeholders to glean and apply the lessons learned from this incident. BPC hosted a discussion with policymakers and experts on the potential ramifications of the Fukushima incident and how new insights may be incorporated into U.S. regulations and operations.
