Keynote Address Session 1 8:00 am to 9:45 am |
Ted Marston, EPRI Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, will speak on the future of power systems and the role of automation systems in that visionWhat changes are likely in the electric power industry? How will concerns about climate change
affect coal and gas-fired generation?
Will nuclear power make a renaissance?
Will renewables become significant contributors? What is the role of conservation? How will plant and grid operations change
in light of stability and security concerns coupled with the aging workforce
situation? Our keynote speaker will
provide his insights on these, including his perspective on the key role of
automating systems as the power industry adapts for the future. Ted Marston is senior vice president and chief technology
officer at the Electric Power Research Institute. Prior to his most recent
appointment, Ted Marston was EPRI's chief nuclear officer and vice president.
Previously, he was a senior vice president of EQE International, Inc. and the
president and CEO of PLG, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of EQE. Dr. Marston
has more than 25 years of international experience in the assessment and
management of risk for industrial facilities. Marston holds bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees in
Mechanical Engineering from the |

Session 4B - Nuclear Plant
Automation Keynote “Regulatory Issues and the Digital Automation Era of
Nuclear Power Plants” – Jerry Mauck Guidelines,
standards, and NRC requirements dealing with the use of digital systems in
nuclear plant applications have been available now for years. The process
should have become much smoother as we have accumulated experience. And yet,
to some, it seems the reverse is true. Can we combine the wisdom of
experience with the energy of new ideas effectively? Many of us know
Jerry, retired Chief, Instrumentation and Controls Section, USNRC, and active
participant in the ongoing development of digital systems. Hear Jerry’s
perspective on this and more, stimulating discussion on solutions throughout
presentations on the excellent papers offered in the nuclear track |
