Seminars

Wednesday 20th January 2027
Presentation: Rebuilding the N-stamp and NQA-1 Vendor Base
12:15 pm
  • Walking the practical qualification pathway that brings lapsed fabricators back to N-stamp
  • Widening the pool fast, using inherent-safety and simpler SMR designs to lower the bar
  • Sharing audits and qualification data across owners and EPCs to cut the cost and time to qualify

Practical Takeaway: Leave with practical qualification pathways, not just a description of the shortage: how to re-qualify lapsed fabricators, widen the pool, and use shared audits to get more vendors nuclear-ready faster.
