NRC to Host Public Symposium on Artificial Intelligence
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will host the second annual NRC AI Symposium entitled "Moving Data and AI into Practice" on March 12 as a hybrid event to discuss the practical application of artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies in the nuclear sector. The symposium will bring together NRC, industry representatives, external AI experts, and other stakeholders to share experiences and insights on implementing AIin nuclear applications.
The event will include an overview of the NRC's AI Strategic and Compliance Plan, highlighting how emerging data and AI capabilities are being translated into operational use to strengthen regulatory decision-making, improve efficiency, and support safety and transparency. Updates will also be provided on agency activities to prepare for industry use of AI. The symposium aims to foster a shared understanding of these technologies and gather feedback to inform future regulatory and technical considerations as AI continues to evolve within the nuclear landscape.
Participants will hear from a variety of NRC and industry speakers about real-world examples of AI integration, lessons learned from early adoption, and opportunities for collaboration across the nuclear community. The discussions will focus on practical approaches to leveraging data and AI while maintaining the NRC's commitment to safety, security, and public confidence.
The symposium will be held from 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Eastern in the NRC's Auditorium at 11555 Rockville Pike in Rockville, Maryland and online via Microsoft Teams. The symposium is free and open to the public, but individuals must register in advance.
External stakeholders interested in presenting at the symposium may submit a proposal here by February 6. Selections for a limited number of presentations will be made by February 12.

NRC Announces Opportunity to Request Hearing for Grand Gulf Early Site Permit Renewal
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has announced the opportunity for the public to request a hearing on a request from System Energy Resources, an Entergy subsidiary, to renew the Early Site Permit for the Grand Gulf site in Mississippi.
The ESP, issued in 2007, resolved many site-related safety and environmental issues, and concluded the site is suitable for possible future construction and operation of a nuclearpower plant. Entergy (or any other potential applicant interested in the site) must still seek NRC approval for a construction permit or combined license before any significant construction could occur. The filing deadline for this hearing opportunity is March 30.
The request to renew the ESP includes a requested exemption from requirements to update information in renewal applications. The NRC staff has determined that the exemption request contains sufficient information for the agency to formally docket it and begin its detailed technical reviews. Therefore, the NRC staff has determined that the ESP renewal application is acceptable for docketing. If approved, the exemption would allow Grand Gulf to update its information in the future. Docketing these requests is not an indication of whether the NRC will grant the exemption or renew the ESP.
Additional information on the current Grand Gulf ESP and the Grand Gulf ESP renewal can be found on the NRC's website.

Settles federal suit charging light bulb manufacturer with firing pregnant employee
LOS ANGELES - Feit Electric Inc., a lightbulb manufacturer based in Los Angeles, agreed to pay $100,000 and provide other relief to settle a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
According to the lawsuit, workforce provider EastridgeWorkforce Solutions assigned a female employee to work at Feit Electric at its Pico Rivera, California warehouse location, where she was subjected to sex discrimination when she was discharged because of her pregnancy.
"Title VII and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act both provide robust protections against pregnancy discrimination for workers. It is imperative that employers routinely provide updated training to supervisors and managers on EEO laws to protect both employees and employers alike," said Anna Y. Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District Office. "We commend Feit Electric for providing the monetary relief and for making significant changes to their policies and practices to adhere to both Title VII and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act."
This settlement, combined with the separate consent decree between the EEOC and Eastridge Workforce Solutions for $185,000 and injunctive relief remedies, brings the total settlement amount to $285,000.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of pregnancy. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. TEG Staffing, Inc., d/b/a Eastridge Workforce Solutions; Feit Electric, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-09314) in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its administrative conciliation process.
The three-year consent decree resolving this portion of the case requires Feit Electric to pay $100,000 in monetary relief to the former employee; to retain an equal employment opportunity monitor; and to review and revise its discrimination policies and procedures to include acknowledgement of the many types of available and appropriate pregnancy-related accommodations. The company will also publish a statement on its website noting that it is an equal opportunity employer, provide training on Title VII and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, distribute policies, and revise its procedures for working with staffing agencies when it comes to complaints of discrimination.
"Congress has proclaimed time and again that women have fundamental protections from discrimination at work due to their pregnancy, including through the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act," said Christine Park-Gonzalez, director of the EEOC's Los Angeles District Office. "Employers must ensure their policies and practices are in line with the expectations set forth by Congress and enforced by the EEOC."
For more information on pregnancy discrimination, please visit https://www.eeoc.gov/pregnancy-discrimination.
The EEOC's Los Angeles District includes central and southern California, southern Nevada, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Wake Island and the Northern Mariana Islands, with offices in Los Angeles, Fresno, Las Vegas, San Diego and Honolulu.
The EEOC is the sole federal agency authorized to investigate and litigate against businesses and other private sector employers for violations of federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. For public sector employers, the EEOC shares jurisdiction with the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division. The EEOC also is responsible for coordinating the federal government's employment antidiscrimination effort. More information about the EEOC is available at www.eeoc.gov.
