Blastoff: The Legal Countdown to Nuclear in Space
About this program
The program examines the legal and regulatory landscape governing nuclear technology in outer space. The program opens with foundational frameworks, including the Atomic Energy Act, the Outer Space Treaty, the Price Anderson Act, and early international agreements that shaped how the U.S. approaches nuclear power sources beyond Earth's atmosphere. From there, the discussion turns to recent developments, covering emerging commercial applications, evolving national and international regulatory approaches, and the growing role of private operators in nuclear space ventures. Attendees will leave with a working understanding of the legal infrastructure governing this sector and the key compliance and policy questions now facing practitioners.
