Merit Janow, Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs, will introduce Lady Judge and provide opening remarks. Center Director Jason Bordoff will moderate a discussion following the presentation.
Registration is required. This event is open to press.
The Center on Global Energy Policy is proud to have the Center on Japanese Business and Economy at Columbia Business School as our outreach partner for this event.
NOTE: Following Lady Judges lecture, the Center on Global Energy Policy will also inaugurate its Women in Energy Program by convening female students for an opportunity to discuss career paths in energy and related issues with Lady Judge (separate invitations will be sent). The Columbia Women in Energy Program will bring leading women from the energy industry, energy finance, and energy policy to Columbia University for informal dialogue with female students interested in entering the energy field. Working with top female energy leaders, the Center develops and executes programming to support career opportunities for young women at Columbia to increase the presence of women in senior management positions in the energy sector.

The NRC is already experimenting and making improvements in reducing licensing review times without changing the diligence or substance of its evaluations, and the results are promising. If the projected volume of applications materializes, the NRC will need to continue to apply the new approaches it has begun using, as well as seek out additional efficiencies. This paper lays out actionable recommendations on what NRC can do now—under existing statutory authority—to further compress schedules while preserving safety, due process, and analytical quality.
