T1 Moving at the Pace of Change: How do Regulatory Bodies Identify, Confront and Surmount the Challenges of Regulating a Technically Evolving and Dynamic Sector? A Fireside Chat Amongst International Peers

Join this session to hear a lively exchange between five regulatory colleagues, who also happen to occupy leadership roles in the nuclear safety organizations of their respective nations, as they exchange thoughts on how to navigate the unique and manifest challenges of achieving readiness for new technologies, maintaining a diverse and capable regulatory workforce, responding to evolving national energy policies, and motivating and energizing their organizations for the future, all while protecting public health and safety on a day to day basis. The panelists will discuss real world examples from their own organizations and provide perspectives, advice, and insights on generic challenges confronting regulatory bodies today and into the future.
