The NARUC-NASEO Advanced Nuclear State Collaborative hosted a webinar with Julie Kozeracki, Director of Strategy, Loan Programs Office, U.S. Department of Energy to provide a briefing on the LPO's recently released update to the May 2023 Advanced Nuclear Commercial Liftoff Report. The updated report provides a refreshed picture of the nuclear landscape as the current reactor fleet is renewing existing operating licenses, exploring the restart or extension of plants slated to close early, and contemplating investments in capacity uprates. In this period, major technological, political, and economic developments have also changed the playing field for advanced reactors of all sizes. Julie Kozeracki, one of the report's primary authors, discussed updates to the report and outline a vision for the commercialization of the advanced nuclear industry.
