NUCLEAR
Administration, NRC, Nuclear Industry Look Ahead to Uncertain Territory 26
Many U.S. leaders fully support the development of new nuclear power technology.
Advanced reactor designs could not only help decarbonize domestic
energy supplies, but also provide economic benefits as technology is exported
to other countries. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) annual
Regulation Information Conference, an online event in early March, offered the
latest updates on promising reactor designs and technology that is coming
down the pike.

MARNIE SURFACEBLOW
Oil Pump Amps Provide the Clue Marnie Needs to Stave Off Trouble
Long-time POWER readers likely remember Marmaduke Surfaceblow, a fictional
character whose engineering escapades graced the magazine's pages for
more than 30 years. This month, POWER extends the series with the adventures
of Marnie Surfaceblow, Marmaduke's fictional granddaughter. Much like her
late grandfather, Marnie uses her own engineering prowess to solve problems
in today's high-tech power plants.
