If you cant attend the conference, but are still interested in learning mora about the topic, however, you can go to ASME.org and watch an archived version of a webinar the ASME Energy Forum offered on the subject last month.Small modular reactors (SMRs) are considered some of the most promising reactor concepts, as they offer such advantages as enhanced safety, in-factory modular construction, lower up front capital costs per unit, distributed generation and availability for non-power generation applications. The Small Modular Reactors Sympos ium, which will be held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, will address the technical, business and regulatory issues for the deployment of SMRs. Encompassing both high-level strategy presentations as well as the technical details necessary for bringing SMRs from design and concept into fabrication and building, the symposium will feature keynote presentations by William C. Ostendorff, commissioner of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and John E. Kelly, deputy assistant secretary for nuclear reactor technologies at the U.S. Department of Energy. The symposium will also include three panel presentations Advanced Manufacturing and Modular Construction, First Movers Next Steps to Deployment, and SMR Economics and Financing featuring representatives from the DOE and the Electric Power Research Institute, as well as such key players in the field as Edison Welding Institute, Rolls Royce, Newport News Nuclear, NuScale Power, Fluor Nuclear Power, and Bechtel Power Corp. Visit www.asmec onferences.org/SMR2014 to learn more about the symposium and to register. Three ASME MasterClass training programs will be offered from April 14-16 in Washington, D.C., in conjunction with the SMR Symposium. The three classes, which were specifically developed for the nuclear power industry, will address the topics of commercial grade dedication, the prevention of counterfeit products and the use of commercial-grade computer programs for design and analysis at nuclear facilities. Visit www.asmeconferences.org/SMR2014/TrainingClasses.cfm to learn more about these classes and to register. Last month, the ASME Energy Forum held a free webinar Small Modular Reactors Nuclears Big Opportunity in a Little Package as a precursor to the SMR Symposium. A recording of the webinar, which examines the technological, economic, and regulatory promises and challenges regarding small nuclear reactors, is now available on ASME.org. The hour-long webinar features Jose N. Reyes, chief technology o fficer at NuScale Power, presenting an overview of the SMR the company is developing, and Paul Murphy, special counsel for the Project Finance Group at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley McCloy LLP, discussing the development and financing of SMR projects. David Walsh, editor for ASME.org, moderated the session. Visit the ASME Energy Forum page on ASME.org to register and watch the archived webinar.
