Webinar: Making the Decision for Second License Renewal

This is the first webinar in our three-part series, “Second License Renewal - Delivering the Nuclear Promise from 60 to 80 Years”


February 1, 2018 – Renewal of operating licenses for nuclear power plants has been demonstrated to be a stable and successful process. With the first group submitted to NRC back in 1998, more than 50 license renewal applications (representing over 85 units) have now been approved. Sargent & Lundy has developed guidelines and work practices that incorporate these 20 years of license renewal experience along with the updated guidance for second license renewal recently developed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the nuclear power industry. This webinar series highlights this experience and reveals how Sargent & Lundy can put this know-how to work for your operating plant.

About the Webinar: “Making the Decision for Second License Renewal”
This 25-minute webinar, taking place Wednesday, February 21, provides answers for decision-makers who are considering a second license renewal. Engineering directors will benefit from the discussion of both old and new technical issues relevant to second license renewal, where we describe how these issues are being resolved. Plant managers will appreciate the review of potential impacts for long term operation of your station. And your license renewal project manager will enjoy the arguments made in this webinar for whether you should pursue second license renewal, including the development of a successful business case.

The presentation is hosted by Sargent & Lundy Executive Vice President & Director of Nuclear Power Delfo Bianchini and led by co-presenters Andrew Taylor, PE and Brian Jelke, PE.
