NRC's Annual Regulatory Information Conference

Dear Participants:

Welcome to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s 37^th Annual Regulatory Information Conference, also known as the RIC. Once a year, the agency joins with representatives from our international partners, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, the industry, and interested members of the public for an immersive multi-day conference focused on the most pressing issues in the nuclear field.

This year’s conference covers a broad range of topics, from novel policy matters to detailed technical challenges. The panels and presentations we have planned will be interesting, informative and will certainly inspire substantive dialogue. You will also hear perspectives and insights during several special plenary sessions. As always, we welcome your feedback at the end of the event so we can continue to improve upon the RIC every year.

My Commission colleagues and I look forward to sharing our perspectives on nuclear regulation with you. On behalf of the Commission and the NRC staff, I thank you for attending and wish you an engaging and enjoyable conference.

David A. Wright, Chairman
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
