Both INPO and NRC discussed COVID-19 response activities in the areas of operator licensing and training oversight. Additionally, several innovative initiatives were discussed, along with plans for the development of licensing and training processes for advanced reactors. Such meetings are conducted in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between the INPO and NRC dated September 11, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13129A093).
