For months I’ve looked forward to my next chance to work with Rick Vilim and his team at Argonne National Laboratory. I’m very happy to say that I’ll be flying to Chicago this week to see Rick as well as many other key researchers in this very important area for a two-day technical workshop.
ANL is hosting this workshop for advanced reactor developers, university researchers, and national lab staff to discuss and explore advanced control system concepts as well as the path toward regulation of advanced control systems. I’ll be joining a panel discussion at 10:10 CST to represent X-energy and discuss industry needs for advanced control systems, including my work on the Xe-100. I’ll be joined by Daniel Althouse (TerraPower) as well as Rob Meyer (NuScale).
