title: Panel session on "how to meet the challenges for nuclear power".
abstract: This panel session at the 2009 Annual Meeting involved a discussion of views of government, industry, and national research laboratory members on the primary future goals in developing advanced nuclear reactor and nuclear fuel cycle designs, fuel management, and used fuel disposal options. The session at the 2009 NCRP Annual Meeting on "How to Meet the Challenges for Nuclear Power" was chaired by Mary E. Clark of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and focused on efforts in the United States and worldwide to expand nuclear capabilities for electric power production in a safe, secure, and environmentally acceptable manner. This paper briefly summarizes the key topics discussed in five presentations during this session of the NCRP Annual Meeting.
