NNW reported in early September, 2022 that The 26th Annual Nuclear Generator and Supplier Executive Summit, hosted by Utilities Service Alliance (USA), was held at the Coeur d’Alene Golf and Spa Resort in Idaho from June 28 through July 1. About 375 attendees were present for this year’s meeting, themed “Nuclear’s Next Wave” which featured presentations and discussions on emerging nuclear technologies and designs, as well as an integrated tradeshow with about 50 industry suppliers exhibiting products, services, and ideas.
Next-wave presentations: Among those who presented at the meeting were experts representing Idaho National Laboratory, the Nuclear Energy Institute, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, the Electric Power Research Institute, NuScale Power, X-Energy, and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power. They provided updates and innovations regarding the nuclear community’s efforts to advance nuclear power’s contribution to the clean-energy mix.
USA president and chief executive officer John Christensen noted that the summit provided “the open exchange of information and innovative thought on how all stakeholders supporting nuclear power production can achieve mutual success by working together.”
In advance of the general session were business meetings on topics including advanced remote monitoring, personnel sharing, and supply chain management.
Not all business: In addition to taking care of business, there was time for recognition and giving—and fun for the attendees and other guests.
The 2021 Supplier of the Year awards, voted on by USA members, were presented at the summit. The Technology and Materials award went to Curtiss-Wright in recognition of its AP Services brand, which provides fluid sealing technologies. The Services award went to EnergySolutions for its nuclear decommissioning and decontamination services.
