Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to day two of the 2022 virtual regulatory information conference. Yesterday I know we had an excellent lineup of plenary and technical sessions and we expect the same today with our morning plenaries and afternoon technical sessions. Today we'll be starting the plenary sessions with remarks from our executive director for operations Dan Dorman. Dan's remarks will be followed by a Q&A session so I encourage you to type in your questions and we'll try to answer as many as we can. Dan was appointed the executive director for operations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in October of 2021. This is the highest ranking career position in the agency with responsibilities overseeing the agency's operational and administrative functions and serving as the chief operating officer. He was previously served as both the deputy executive director for reactor and preparedness programs and acting deputy executive director for materials, waste, research, state, tribal, compliance, administration, and human capital. I don't know if there's anything else left after you've done that Dan, in the office of the EDO. Mr. Dorman joined the NRC in 1991 as a project engineer in the office of nuclear reactor regulation. He has served in senior management positions in the offices of nuclear regulatory research, nuclear security and instant response, nuclear material safety and safeguards, and nuclear reactor regulation. From 2014 to 2017, Mr. Dorman served as regional administrator in Region 1. Prior to joining the NRC, Mr. Dorman served as a submarine officer in the US Navy's nuclear power program with a subspecialty and joint intelligence operations. He received a bachelor's degree in naval architecture and marine engineering from the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture. He received the NRC's Meritorious Service Award in 1996 and the Presidential Rank Meritorious Executive Award in 2008. With that, I'll turn it over to you, Dan. Thank you. Thank you so much, Ray, for that introduction and good morning everyone. And on behalf of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it's my pleasure to add my welcome to the second day of this year's RIC. This is my first RIC serving as executive director for operations. This year, much like last year, we decided to move the RIC to an all-virtual format. Last year proved to be one of our most successful conferences ever, with approximately 3,400 people participating. This year we expect to have a similar number of people participating and listening in on the various panels and technical sessions. That said, next year I hope to be able to attend the RIC and to meet with many of you in person. Every year we look forward to the opportunity to host this and to share information at this event. I thank you all for being here and I'm excited about the healthy dialogue that I observed yesterday and that's bound to occur today and tomorrow at this year's conference. Of most importance, I thank you for your ongoing commitment to safety and security and the use of radioactive materials and technology. With that in mind, I feel it necessary to sadly acknowledge the tragic events in Ukraine. All of our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine who so abruptly have seen their lives uprooted and endangered. The staff of the state nuclear regulatory inspectorate of Ukraine are carrying out their essential duties in the face of extraordinary challenges unlike anything we've seen in history. The RIC normally provides an opportunity for us to meet with our international counterpart regulators and to share best practices, discuss the challenges we are facing and identify potential solutions. This year we do so out of necessity but with a heavy heart. Finally, I want to thank the individuals in the offices of nuclear reactor regulation and nuclear regulatory research and the many volunteers whose work and planning has set the stage for another successful conference. This morning I want to spend some time looking at how we are preparing for tomorrow as a modern risk informed regulator. Over the last two years, the NRC has developed and implemented a number of tools and resources that enable us to support our agency's transformation journey. We're using the be risk smart framework and they are accepting well managed risk in our decision making. In addition, we're using technology to work smarter, including using data analytics to highlight areas for regulatory attention and improvement. We're innovating our processes to make timely decisions that take into account different viewpoints and fully explored options. And we have worked and continue to work very deliberately to have a skilled, adaptable and engaged workforce ready for the work that is before us today and out into the future. If I could have slide two please. The principles of good regulation, independence, clarity, openness, reliability and efficiency and our NRC values of integrity, service, openness, commitment, cooperation, excellence and respect continue to be the bedrock foundation of our regulatory posture and decision making. Building on this foundation, one significant accomplishment from last year is that 2021 saw us further ingrain the transformation mindset into our organizational DNA. We continue to strive towards ensuring that the decisions we make are filtered through the rubric of our transformation efforts, which drives us towards making high quality regulatory decisions with a level of effort appropriate to adequately manage risk. With that in mind in 2021, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, we continued to successfully achieve our mission to license and regulate the nation's civilian use of radioactive materials to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety to promote the common defense and security and to protect the environment. In the last year we have continued to execute a risk informed oversight approach to ensure that we are protecting the health and safety of our inspectors, site personnel and local communities. In-person inspections are the preferred approach for our inspections and we increase those relative to the first year of the pandemic. However, we continued to use a flexible hybrid approach, allowing us to balance local health conditions and risk profiles to determine the appropriate on-site presence of our inspectors. These efforts allowed the NRC to successfully continue its independent oversight of NRC licensed facilities and activities. Similarly, in 2021, we revised our force-on-force inspection procedure for limited scope tactical drills to include another option that was broader in scope than the tactical drills we performed in 2020. This new option balanced the risk of COVID exposure for NRC and licensee staff with the need to conduct broad scope security inspections. Depending on licensee site conditions, the NRC staff has successfully inspected licensee performance in tactical drills or the modified force-on-force exercises throughout 2021. We innovated our incident response program to align our response structure with those of other federal response organizations. We used technology to incorporate regional and headquarters responders in an integrated response approach which includes virtual and in-person participants and expanded the program to a full agency response. In August 2021, we successfully employed this approach in real-time at Waterford Nuclear Power Plant in response to Hurricane Ida. We continue to use innovative processes such as utilizing the Vogel Readiness Group or VRG to coordinate between NRC offices to oversee licensee activities as it prepares to complete construction and transition to operation for Vogel Units 3 and 4. The VRG ensures that we keep open lines of communication within the NRC, with the licensee, and with the public, and that technical and policy issues are promptly resolved. This year, we finalized plans for the transition to operations of Vogel 3 and 4, and we met key milestones in our preparations to support a potential finding that all inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and acceptance criteria are met. And we have effectively responded to several time-critical and high-priority licensing actions. We're also modernizing our regulatory infrastructure for advanced reactor licensing through issuance of preliminary proposed rule language for our Part 53 Advanced Reactors rulemaking. In addition, we submitted the Draft Advanced Reactors Generic Environmental Impact Statement and the Associated Draft Proposed Rule to the Commission for their consideration. We also submitted a paper to the Commission providing the draft final rule for emergency preparedness requirements for small modular reactors and other new technologies. And we issued several guidance documents on technical issues related to advanced reactors. While we build out a risk-informed, technology-neutral regulatory infrastructure for advanced reactors, we continue to actively review applications for these new technologies in a timely manner. And we are ensuring these applications continue to meet our safety and security requirements. For example, this year we had broad stakeholder engagement on new and advanced reactor activities including pre-application engagement with more than 13 prospective applicants. We held over 85 public meetings on new and advanced reactor activities and held extensive discussions with the Department of Energy, the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, and other federal entities. We issued a letter accepting for review and docketing the Kairos-Hermes Construction Permit application for a non-power test reactor to be built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. While we denied without prejudice, Oklo powers application to build and operate the company's Aurora Compact Fast Reactor in Idaho. Oklo has the opportunity to submit a complete application in the future. Regarding decommissioning, since the last regulatory information conference the NRC terminated the license for the Humboldt Bay Power Reactor and the site has been released for unrestricted use. The 11th power reactor to undergo safe and effective decommissioning under NRC licensing and oversight. Additionally, since this time last year, one additional reactor has entered active decommissioning for a total of 25 sites currently in decommissioning status of which 18 are actively working towards final license termination. Conversely, there have been some recent changes in plans for power reactors that had previously announced decisions to decommission. Specifically, as a result of the recent passage of energy legislation in Illinois, Excellent Generation announced that it decided to continue operations at the Byron and Dresden stations in Illinois. We innovated our processes to ensure that we're well positioned to continue reviewing emerging medical technologies, including streamlining guidance development and collaborating with agreement states. And we continue to support the University Nuclear Leadership Program, which provides research and development and educational grants to institutions of higher education and encourages researchers at U.S. institutions to bring innovative ideas to the NRC and the nuclear industry. In 2021, under the Research and Development Funding Announcement, we awarded more than $5.4 million for research and development grants to 10 academic institutions in eight states. Recently, one of the recipients of those research grants, Oregon State University, presented its research related to nuclear cybersecurity to the NRC staff. This research directly addresses the objectives of the NRC to have a risk informed understanding of cyber vulnerabilities associated with nuclear plant instrumentation and control systems. Awards for our educational grants are currently underway and will be announced in April. Internationally, we continue to engage in bilateral nuclear safety and security cooperation programs and assistance activities with our regulatory counterparts around the world. We actively participate in and contribute technical and regulatory expertise to multilateral organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Nuclear Energy Agency, and we have a robust international cooperative regulatory research program. Last summer, we published our International Strategy for 2021 through 2025, which details our efforts to foster and maintain collaboration with international counterparts in multilateral organizations. We also worked closely with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to issue two joint technical reports under a first of a kind memorandum of cooperation on small modular reactors and advanced reactor technologies. And in a few weeks, we will be participating in the first review conference of the parties of the amended convention on the physical protection of nuclear material. Finally, over the last year, we have been involved in an important effort to review how environmental justice is addressed in the NRC's programs, policies and activities. In that time, we conducted extensive outreach, including reaching out directly to environmental justice communities and tribal nations to inform them about this effort and to solicit feedback. In addition, we have held several public meetings in support of this effort, including a listening session to hear perspectives from environmental justice community leaders and practitioners on how the NRC has addressed and might enhance environmental justice in its programs and activities. Further, we met with individuals in groups across the country representing a variety of perspectives and benchmarked the practices of other federal and state agencies. We have also leveraged knowledge, ideas, and experience from across the agency by conducting interviews with staff experts. In the next few weeks, NRC staff will be submitting a paper to the commission providing an analysis of our detailed review. This is only a snapshot of the amazing work our staff has accomplished over the last year, and many of these activities will continue to be focal points of our efforts going forward. Slide three, please. As we focus on preparing for the future as a modern risk informed regulator, we will continue to achieve mission excellence in a diverse, inclusive and innovative environment with a highly skilled, adaptable and engaged workforce. These ideals, diversity, inclusion, innovation are embedded in our strategic plan for 2022 through 2026 and are at the front of my mind as I think about everything that we hope to achieve in the next few years. The strategic plan is nearing completion and I want to thank those members of the NRC staff, as well as external stakeholders who contributed to its development. This latest strategic plan continues to emphasize our focus and commitment to the NRC's mission and strategic goals of safety and security. While it continues to highlight our principles of good regulation and our NRC values, it incorporates many of the lessons that we have learned during our transformation efforts and reaffirms our commitment to sustaining the progress that we have made over the last few years. Slide four, please. One of our strategic goals is to inspire stakeholder confidence in the NRC by engaging stakeholders in NRC activities in an effective and transparent manner while using high quality data and information in the NRC decision making process. Going forward, we want to continue to develop our data governance structure to help bring awareness of the importance of data in our decision making process and help us make risk informed decisions. One example of how we are achieving success in this area is through growth in our mission analytics portal program or MAP. In addition to the continual improvement of our MAP data analytics and dashboards that support decision making. Last year, we also launched the next phase of MAP called MAPX, which now allows licensees to submit both web based relief requests and event notification worksheet forms electronically. This electronic form is intended to simplify and further digitize transactions and data. The current deployment is focused on event reporting by part 50 licensees. However, staff intends to expand the capability to other licensee types and is actively looking at other use cases that would support modernized business processes. Another important goal in our strategic plan is that we continue to foster a healthy organization. We want to attract, develop and maintain a high performing diverse engaged and flexible workforce with the skills needed to carry out NRC's mission now and in the future. Also, we want to foster an organizational culture in which the workforce is receptive to change and makes high quality and timely decisions. To accomplish this, we will need to make sure that our workforce has the tools to carry out the agency's mission by leveraging modern technology innovation and knowledge management to support data driven decisions in an evolving regulatory landscape. Over the last few years, we have implemented a strategic workforce planning process and are developing competency models to guarantee that we have a skilled and knowledgeable workforce ready to fulfill our mission in the future. We're focused on providing our staff with the necessary knowledge management tools and practice and policies so that critical knowledge is being transferred among our senior mid career and entry level employees. And to offset some of the attrition that we are seeing with some of our retirement eligible staff we have instituted increased hiring, including entry level hiring through our nuclear apprentice nuclear regulator apprenticeship program. This is a full time two year training program designed to develop well rounded regulators by focusing on skill development in multiple program areas across the agency. And while we focus on enhancing our workforce, we will do so in a work environment free from discrimination harassment and intimidation, and we'll continue to promote an open inclusive and collaborative work environment that supports all employees. Lastly, our strategic plans primary goal is to ensure the safe and secure use of radioactive materials. Going forward, we are committed to enabling nuclear innovation in the existing fleet, as well as preparing for the use of new technologies through regulatory engagement and research cooperation. For operating reactors we are supporting nuclear innovations in the areas of wireless technologies. Specifically, we are engaged in several research efforts to enable the safe and secure use of advanced wireless communications. For advanced reactors, a key element of our research readiness strategy is the development of codes and analytic tools to support confirmatory analyses that may be used in licensing activities. Our ability to prepare the regulatory framework for advanced reactors to execute timely and cost effective reviews for advanced and new reactors and provide oversight of the Vogel unit three and four construction project continues to be among the agency's top priorities. This year we will continue our activities to support the safe licensing of advanced reactors, including developing the part 53 proposed rule, completing review milestones for the Kairos Hermes construction permit application, initiating reviews of an additional anticipated applications, completing pre application topical reports and white papers for several new and advanced reactor vendors, developing regulatory guidance for advanced nuclear technology applications, and executing on a timely review to ensure that all inspections, tests, analyses and acceptance criteria for Vogel are met. We have made significant progress to improve the clarity and reliability of the digital instrumentation and control regulatory infrastructure to enable the safe expanded use of digital technologies in new reactor designs and operating plants. The improvements to NRC guidance are already leading to the expanded safe use of digital instrumentation and controls. In the upcoming year, we expect to receive two license amendment requests involving major digital upgrades to I and C protection systems, specifically license amendment requests for Turkey point nuclear generation station in Florida and the limit generating station in Pennsylvania. Additionally, other licensees have indicated interest in large scale digital modernization to support viability of continued safe and reliable operation for extended periods of operation. While some modernization activities continue, the staff is transitioning from regulatory infrastructure modernization to using the improved infrastructure to support the consistent regulation of digital upgrade and modernization requests by licensees and applicants. We are also preparing to review the industry's plan development of accident tolerant, higher burn up and increased enrichment fuel designs. In the past year we have completed a significant number of activities to provide NRC reviewers with interpretations of over 10 years of research on high burn up fuel safety. Additionally, the staff issued a revision to the accident tolerant fuels project plan to better align with industry's shifted focus towards higher burn up and increased enrichment fuel concepts. This year the staff will continue to prepare our infrastructure to support the efficient licensing of accident tolerant fuels through a structured evaluation to identify any changes in regulation or guidance that may be beneficial. We will develop a licensing pathway to provide clarity on the steps required for licensing. In addition to reviewing the several anticipated licensing submittals related to these technologies over the next year, the staff will continue to engage with stakeholders in various forums to maintain transparency and clearly communicate regulatory expectations. In the next year the staff also expects to review nine topical reports on accident tolerant fuels, higher burn up and increased enrichment technology, and expects to review four licensing actions associated with fabrication and transportation of fuel with increased enrichment. The commission recently made decisions regarding how we undertake environmental reviews for subsequent license renewals. The commission directed the staff to reassess how we conduct our subsequent license renewal environmental reviews in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. We are working diligently to implement the commission's direction and chart a path forward for these environmental reviews. As the commission noted there is ample time to evaluate the environmental impacts before any plant enters the subsequent license renewal period. We will continue engaging with current and potential subsequent renewal applicants as we address the environmental review issue. The evaluation of environmental reviews is a separate review from the evaluation of safety for subsequent license renewal, and we are committed to the safe operation of nuclear power plants throughout their life cycle. Decommissioning remains a growing part of our workload as a result of the increasing number of power reactors transferring to active or accelerated decommissioning immediately upon closure. As we continue to adapt and prepare for additional reactors to transition to decommissioning status, we are enhancing and risk informing our processes and optimizing our approach to meet this increase in our licensing and oversight activities. We have worked with federal partners to update guidance on radiological surveys to demonstrate compliance with release criteria, and we are currently working on guidance in two key areas, subsurface investigations and discrete radioactive particles. Another area of focus is the licensing and oversight of commercial spent nuclear fuel storage facilities in the US. Today the NRC oversees 80 licensed independent spent fuel storage installations with more than 3,300 dry storage casks located across 35 states in the United States. The NRC recently issued a license for the interim storage partners to construct and operate a storage facility to consolidate spent nuclear fuel from around the country in Andrews, Texas. The NRC is currently reviewing another application from Holtec International to construct and operate another consolidated interim storage facility located in southeastern New Mexico. We plan to make a licensing decision on that application this year. These are only a few of the priorities we are focused on going forward. Our strategic plan provides the blueprint for the agency to plan, implement and monitor the work needed to successfully achieve our mission. In closing, I'm reminded of a quote from Peter Drucker. He said, a time of turbulence is a dangerous time, but its greatest danger is a temptation to deny reality. As I look back on all that we have accomplished over the last few years under incredibly challenging circumstances, I'm proud to say that we have not denied reality. We have not faltered in pursuit of our accomplishing our mission. We have transformed how we work and we know we will have to continue to adapt and learn to sustain our progress so that we are prepared to face tomorrow as a modern risk informed regulator. Currently, we are seeking external stakeholder feedback on our agency's transformation. And this QR code on this slide will take you to this survey. I encourage you to take this survey and share your thoughts with us. I look forward to having the opportunity to engage with you as we work together to ensure that the nuclear industry continues to operate in a safe and secure manner. I thank you for your attention this morning and I look forward to your questions. Great. Thank you, Dan. So next we'll go into the question and answer period. Please submit your questions on the links provided on the access to the session. The first question Dan is regarding workforce, so workforce was talked a lot in your remarks and yesterday as well. And how do you propose to with the with the losing of staff? I mean, I think everybody's going through the retirement phase and losing staff, the normal attrition as well as retirement. Your goals of high full-time equivalent utilization this year. How do you propose to do that? How do you propose to retain folks we have and attract new folks to the NRC? Great question, Ray. And I know the commissioners touched on this yesterday, but since 2014 the NRC staffing has reduced by more than 20%. And as we went through that reduction, which was the fastest rate of reduction in staffing levels in the history of the agency, we did so by attrition. We were not, it was not necessary ultimately for us to engage in voluntary measures to get our staffing levels down. But to do that it meant we weren't hiring people from outside the agency. We had very limited hiring to meet critical skill needs for quite a number of years. As we level off in our workload and in our budgeted resources, we ended up well below our allocated resources. So when we talk about increased hiring, we're not increasing our budgeted resources. We're increasing the number of people to fill our budgeted resources. And where we've, in the past two years, we hired about 130 people from outside the agency. Last year we hired between 40 and 50 people from outside the agency in 2020. In 2022 we're looking to hire as much as 300 people to get us back to where we need to be. And then as we did not have that input to our staffing, our demographics moved to the right and we have a tremendously experienced seasoned staff at the NRC today. And that's been a huge boon to us as we've worked our way through the pandemic and met the challenges that we've had to have that tremendous amount of experience to apply. But we're all not going to work here forever. I'm happy to say that NRC is a great place to work and folks hit their retirement eligibility age and continue to work in most cases many years past their eligibility. But we are losing about almost 200 people a year, mostly through retirements. And so while we're hiring a lot this year, we're going to be hiring a lot in the out years as well. And as we do that, we're going to find a point in relatively short order where a significant number of the NRC staff have joined the agency since the start of the pandemic. And so that gives us a challenge for knowledge management and transfer and a challenge for bringing on new people and teaching them what Chairman Burns referred to as the regulatory craft. And so as we look to today, I see a tremendously experienced staff that's able to meet the challenges. As I look to the shifting workload of the future and the uncertainties around that, we need to make sure that we have the right people with the right skills in the right place at the right time. And so this hiring and also staff development and knowledge management efforts are key to that. Thank you, Dan. This is another related workforce question. You just talked about hiring efforts with the workforce. But given the pandemic and the lessons we learned in the NRC with regard to the pandemic, what efficiencies did you see that would then maybe negate some of the need for additional workforce? Did you see, there's a question, what efficiencies did you see with the workforce? So I think we did see some efficiencies, I think particularly as we embrace the challenge of unique licensing actions that were necessary because of the pandemic. We had a number of reliefs and exemptions that were requested by licensees from periods of training proficiency. It didn't make sense to bring people together in a classroom in the middle of a pandemic. We had challenges to the minimum staffing in some areas and the ability to manage work hours within the work hour limits. And the ability to turn those around in short order to enable licensees to continue to have the critical staffing that they needed in the control room, in the security force, in maintenance, working through the outages when they were bringing 1,000 people into the site, into their COVID bubble in the middle of the pandemic. It sharpened our thinking, I think, in how we engage a lot of the work that we do. Whether that's something that gives us the ability to reduce resources in the future or just helps us. I think it also comes off of our risk informing initiative and really making sure that we're using risk insights to focus our resources on the most important things. And so I think there is some ability to transition to focusing on higher importance activities. We'll be working through that in the coming months and year to understand the implications of that. Okay, thank you, Dan. We'll shift gears a little bit. You talked about transformation in your remarks. Transformation was talked about yesterday. It's a term that's used a lot in the NRC. But going forward, what challenges do you see that could affect whether your transformation efforts succeed or not? So transformation, change is always a challenge, right? We're moving off of how we've always done things, how we're comfortable doing things. And so that in itself is a change. So the change management process, I think the clarity for the staff on why we need to make the change. And I think a lot of the efforts that we've done to provide an innovative environment and to provide the tools that support agency-wide innovation, provide opportunities for the staff to look at how they do things and say, I can do this more efficiently. Why do I have this in the process? How do we, why are we doing it this way? And to provide a mechanism for them to raise those things, get them engaged and bring about change. So I think it's an opportunity for the staff to engage that in a more personal way and take it on board. And I think a lot of our staff have seen the changes. I think one of the things that we've been trying to do in recent weeks is to communicate among the leadership of the agency from the first line supervisors on up where we have had successes. I think communicating the successes helps others to understand what's possible and opens up more possibilities in the future. So I think those are probably the main things from the innovative standpoint. On the technology front, I think the chairman talked yesterday about how our CIO had positioned us well fortuitously going into the pandemic and we were able to just disconnect our laptops at work and go home and reconnect. But as we look to the future and improvements in technology, I think the resources available to implement some of the technology improvements that may be available to us are an area that we continue to need to focus on. Risk informed decision making. I'm very pleased with how the staff has engaged the be risk smart methodology and advanced the use of risk informed thinking. But as we heard in the risk informed technical session yesterday afternoon, there's still a lot of work to be done to continue to make better use of risk insights in our decision making. And then the big thing is our people. That's always the first one or I put it last here as the anchor because our people are the key to our transformation. And as we continue to bring in new people as we continue to grow our people, engaging them and making them part of the process is going to be the key ultimately to our continued success. Okay, thank you, Dan. The next question is about part 53 rulemaking and do you think the part 53 rulemaking will bring with it more certainty and predictability that that a new new nuclear power plant could eventually be built. I think it will just from the standpoint that the people who are developing those technologies have been actively engaged with the staff in the development of the rule. So I think that that engagement that feedback will help to make a rule that will work for a broad range of technologies. That said, I think there's there's I mentioned Kyros Hermes. We have a number of applications we're anticipating this year. There are developers there are utilities that are moving forward on getting permission to construct and operate new and advanced technologies before we get to part 53 so I think it's a it's a both and proposition I think part 53 will help but I think we're going to get some activities moving forward independent of part 53. A question kind of related to that Dan you mentioned about a part 53 of the broad range of technologies, but do you think, you know, looking way ahead in the end you think will the NRC will need regulations that are specific to specific technologies. I hope not. You know, I think there are there are there are mechanisms to to work through license conditions and otherwise if there are specific aspects of specific technologies that need to be addressed in the licensing basis. We know that part 50 has served us well for decades for specific technologies and there's some very specific prescriptive things in there that make it a challenge for for other technologies I think part 52 through the design certification. There's an example where you do have specific technology incorporated into the rulemaking. So I think that's a possibility. The one thing I think would drive us to a technology specific set of regulations would be if we had one technology, they really became very successful and we started to have a significant number of operating reactors in the future, using that technology. It's conceivable to me that we would learn things along the way as we have evolved part 50 in many ways over the years. I think there's potential that there would be some evolution that would be best addressed for a broad number of licenses through generic activity like rulemaking. Okay, thank you, Dan. We'll switch gears now on a question about the subsequent license renewal, generic EIS. How long, how long do you think it will take to develop the revised generic EIS and will will NRC be able to approve subsequent license renewals prior to completion of these revisions? Okay, so the time frame, the staff is working on getting that up to the commission. So I expect you'll see that in the next week or two, the time frame that we're laying out for doing that. The time frame, what we have in our mind is on the one hand, we want to give enough time to appropriately scope the rule, get good stakeholder engagement in developing the proposed rule for the commission's consideration so that we can have a very focused comment period and hopefully move the process through in a very efficient manner. On the other hand, I know that two sites had their previously approved license extensions are getting pulled back to the initial license extension to 60 years and while there's plenty of time to that end of license to accomplish the work that the staff needs to do, it changes some things for licensees and how they amortize capital investments. And so it has the potential to cause delays in licensee improvements to site safety that we're going to be accomplished under the subsequent license renewal rubric. And so we know we need to move expeditiously to get this done and restore a clear reliable regulatory framework. The second part of the question was, will we be able to approve them before completing the GUIS? Correct. We will not be able to do that because we need, well, we will not be able to do that with the GUIS obviously because it'll be incomplete. I think there could be a path for a licensee to address the issues raised by the commission and a plan specific application. That would be a decisional licensee would need to make. And if somebody wanted to pursue that path, obviously we would have the appropriate engagement with them. There are, as I mentioned, two sites that have had their approved licenses pulled back. There are several sites that the staff is nearing completion of the safety review and will not be able to complete the environmental review. So we won't be able to issue those licenses in the near term and let those licensees will have to make decisions about whether they want to supplement their application to keep it moving forward. And then there are a number of licensees that are in the process of developing their subsequent license renewal applications and they will similarly need to balance the risks to their business plans and make decisions accordingly. But those are basically the two options just for us to complete the GUIS or for an applicant to develop a plan specific environmental report that addresses the issues raised by the commission. Okay, thank you, Dan. We have time for one last question. It's, again, a lessons learned related question. What lessons have you learned from the pandemic regarding advanced reactor reviews that you can build on to ensure more efficient reviews moving forward in a hybrid. Environment. So, I'll go back to some of the comments the commissioners made yesterday about the value of in person inspection and I think in licensing space as well in person engagement through audits that we use in the licensing process. It enables a more fulsome engagement between our reviewers and the licensees technical staff or the applicants technical staff that enable us to have clear communications game. The applicant gainful understanding of the staff's gaps and concerns, and the staff to gain or fuller understanding of the work that's been done by the applicant. So I think that we're, I'm hopeful that we're going to start getting much more of that in person engagement as part of our process and that that will help us to be more effective and efficient as we work through the various applications on our plate and the ones coming to us. Okay, thank you Dan with us. Thanks so much for your remarks Dan and answering questions. We tried to get to as many as as we could but we're running out of time. I would maybe the AV crew one question that's come up folks would like to see the QR code so they could that was in your last slide so maybe when we close if the if the folks could put up that QR code as we close that would be great. Thank you. Yeah, thanks Dan. And one, one last reminder our next special plenary session is on our waste and water the future of decommissioning efforts at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, and that'll begin at a little break and that'll begin at nine o'clock Eastern time and we hope to see you there. Thank you and the session is closed.

In our first story, we go to New Delhi, where thousands of workers are gathered to take part in a protest convention called by 10 central trade unions and federations. The Bharatiya Majdu Sangh, which is affiliated with right-wing organization, Rashtriya Sohyam Sevak Sangh, is not part of this convention. The workers and the unions are protesting against the relentless privatization policies by the far-right government in India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They are also protesting against the attack on labour laws, the attack on the working class and the economic recession, which has really created miseries for the people. To know more about this, we talk to some of the union leaders and workers here. Modi, too, government is doing away with all the rights of the workers, which has been earned through the ages of struggles, including the minimum wages and 8 hours' work, which the wage code bill has already been passed, which is negating both these rights. Earlier demands of minimum wages, the employment generation, all those things are there and for social security and pension for all workers. Now the situation is that in the name of the recession, the government is encouraging the retrenchment and incentivizing the employers. To the tune of 1.45 lakh crores, the government is incentivizing the employers who are retrenching the workers. There is no job security for the workers. So in this situation and all the public sector assets including the defence and railways are being sold off for a song and in this situation there is no other way for the working class of the country and all the major central trade unions and all the independent federations are together and before completing one year of any government for the first time in India there is going to be a big general strike on 8th of January and that is going to be historic. In central trade unions of our country have given a call for a nationwide general strike on 8th January 2002-2020. This strike is against the continuing attacks on the working people on the working class of the country, its rights and the ongoing economic recession the destruction of economy, the destruction of livelihood, the destruction of jobs and against all the oppressive acts the government has brought in. As you know this country is going through its worst phase and the economy is in deep slump. This slump has been created by the Modi government which started with the Note Bandi of this government and now we know that after the 100 days of this government around 1 crore more jobs have been destroyed this government has proved to be a totally destructive government for the economy for the livelihoods of the people, for the rights of the people.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel today I'm going to be talking about how you can go through and rice or customize KDE plasma to look like Mac OS big sir now This is something that's very popular on r slash Unix porn. So that's kind of why I'm doing it Personally, this is probably not the rice that I would do for my own personal setup, but Maybe it is and I also say this that I've not done this actually Recently so some of the processes or things is are going to be different than what I was used to before Back when I was you know, rising KDE to look like Mac OS. So I'm just in typical matte fashion expect things to go wrong so This is what KDE looks like right now And this is just what it looks like out of the box when you install it on men jar from the men jar repose It's not what the men jar rice looks like because that's like if you use the KDE spin of man jar That has all the KDE Manjaro, you know theming. So this is just what KDE plasma will look like out of the box So I will I'm just gonna say this right now. This is an involved process. So expect this to be a fairly long video Pause it as you do things. I would say that's how I you know did it from the tutorial that I learned from I'll show you something you can pause it and you know Keep going. So the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna open open up the settings app here now The first then we're going to want to go to workspace behavior Okay, and then desktop effects and We're gonna want to type in blur Okay, and then we're going to want to hit the little we're gonna want to turn it on first and Then hit the little settings icon there. We're gonna turn turn noise strength to zero So all the way to the to the bottom this can stay the same just do okay, and And KDE plasma you're gonna always want to make sure you're applying things as you go move between screens just in case So I'm gonna hit pretty much hit apply every single time I change something. So we're gonna stay right on the same screen And we're gonna want to set wobbly windows. So we just type in wobbly windows Chances are you won't need to type in the entire Word so you want to turn this on and then Hit the The cocky for settings And we want to turn off wobble when resizing and then turn the wobbliness all the way up Okay, and then again apply Okay, so the next thing we want to do is again, we're gonna say right on the same window type in Magic lamp and again turn it on and then we want to check the The cog icon again and type in 400 milliseconds Okay, and then hit okay, and then again apply then we're done in When desktop effects for the meantime the next one we want to do is turn off screen edges So we go here to screen edges Just go to click no action no action and then hit apply okay, and The next thing we want to do is go to window management, which is back out here in The main menu window management and we want to go to advanced and We want to make sure that this here says centered Okay, and then apply That makes it basically means everything that spawns is going to appear in the center of the screen. I Know I'm moving along quite fast. I just want don't want this video to last for like four hours Preferably less than a half an hour would be nice So the next thing we want to do is go to task switcher Which is here along the side and We want to go to where it says visualization and then we want to make sure this here says large icons and then apply and Then we want to click k-win scripts And then we want to get new scripts And we want to type in where the search side. It should be a search thing here somewhere. Maybe there's not Okay, apparently you can't search for things for new scripts anymore. You should be able to search for new scripts I guess we're just going to that's a bit weird, huh as you can tell I told you the Apparently the tutorials we're looking for here is force blur Yes, there's no way to search. I mean there has to be a way to search to these, right? It doesn't guess it doesn't matter. We'll just go through and do this one and it download force blur I think it's downloading Yep, it's downloaders. We use it close and then we want to enable force blur and and Hit apply. Okay Now it's time to just set some themes. So we're gonna go back out here to the main window and We're gonna want to go to global theme and We're going to want to hit get new global themes See, there's a search bar in this one And we're gonna want which is good because then I don't have to go through and search through all these Just to find the one that I want. We're gonna want to type in white Sir Enter Okay, and here's white sir. Now you can do the white sir dark. I'm just going to install white sir And it's going to be the first one. I believe that we want to do Yeah, we'll just do this one. I think it's the right one honestly in that selection thing I always wish that they would just Choose the one that was the most recent instead of giving you several options Once this is installed, we'll go to the next step. I don't know how long this will take Oh, you're gonna have we're gonna have to enter this Which is dumb because I'm not even using SDDM Installing Installing Oh, there we go. I think close. I'm gonna do this and then we want to hit apply Okay, so we're on our way as you can see it. We're actually gotten some Effects of this already we have some blur here and We got you know Starting look cool, right? All right So the next thing we want to do is make sure that's like I said That's applied here and we want to make sure it's also applied in plasma style, which it is oops I think I just deleted that thing Don't accidentally delete the thing. So like I just did anyways, it's already applied So we don't need to go through and apply it again and then we want to go through to application style here and we want to go to window decorations and Then we want to make sure that white sirs applied which it is All right, and then the next thing we want to do is stay here in application style and Type go into your application style here And then we wanted to go down here and configure. You know, I'm g2k application style Okay, and then we want to hit download new Let's get new, you know application styles and we want to type in Big sir and then enter and that should be You know, I'm actually not sure which one of these it is Search big sir in so non-dark theme is what my instructions say so we're just gonna assume it is this one We may end up having to come through and redo this one, but it should be right Okay, close and we want to select it from the list which should be Let's see here. This one here. Okay, and apply Okay Now if you're running an older version of plasma, you may have one for GTK 2 and GTK 3 Just make sure you select it for both Okay, so the next thing you want to do is go back to window decorations and then title bar buttons And we want to move these around so that they're in the right spots. We're gonna get rid of These two things here. Just completely get rid of them. We're gonna move the close button and the maximize button and The minimize button over here, then we'll rearrange them So that may be the wrong order change these into the order that you're most comfortable with and then just apply And you can see the buttons moved into the proper places Okay now We're going to go back to the main menu and hit colors and Then we got to make sure white shirts white sir is enabled which it is good Okay, the next thing we want to do is go to cursors, which is here okay the next so I'm gonna go to cursors get new cursors And we're gonna type in Mick Mojave so MC MOHA V and Enter button and that didn't type that didn't actually find anything with us core because of course it didn't Okay, well, we're gonna try again Mac we just call it Mac So what we get for that? so Apparently the one that I'm supposed to use Mick Mojave is not here So we'll just use the Mac OS big sir Once here, we'll just install this Which one I'm supposed to install I'm not sure this is what I'm talking about Then you this is probably the biggest problem with KDE still is they bring up this thing on the comm I supposed to know What these things are there's no way to know unless you go to the KDE store and look which I don't want to do So we're just gonna choose the one at the top Yes possibly by dark Okay Okay, so apparently that's the wrong one. We'll just hit no Okay, we'll try one of the other ones Usually the tire balls work better. I should have noticed that. Yeah, we got that one. It's all okay. We just want to type in Actually wiser seems to have come with one.  He really has got a fix you hover over something to select it You accidentally, you know hit the the trash icon. So Anyways, cursors are done. The next thing we want to do is start up and shut down which is under Which is here and the settings app crash awesome sauce, okay Well, we'll try again and Then Here we go Those wobbly windows this If you're an old-school Linux user, yeah, that's the way windows used to move around Yeah, all right start them shut down and we're going to want them the splash screen Which is here and we'll want to make sure white shirt white sir is enabled which it is Okay All right now You thought all that was complicated wait until we get into covanta, so not the next step is It's 13 steps long So we're gonna want to install covanta So in order to do that you're going to need to get into the your software center Now if you're on an arch-based sister like manjaro Or you know regular arch or whatever you can install this from the from the arch Repositories if you're on Ubuntu, I believe it's in the Ubuntu part repositories, but I'm not sure All right for our purposes we're going to Try to see if we can find it in discover Now discover is an horrible application, but we're gonna see if it's there when you search for covanta You should just get the covanta thing, but of course not of course you're not going to do that So we're just gonna close this and we'll see if I don't even know if I have Mac installed I do good excellent Well, that is not play very well with the theming. So we've done so far, but it doesn't matter We just search covanta and then it looks like we already have it installed in my system But you probably won't so once it's installed We're gonna want to close this and we're gonna want to open up a web browser Which apparently conquer is set as the default web browser here, which is Downright hilarious. Okay, so We want to download the non-dark Tarball here. So go to files. Let's see if I can zoom in here so you can actually see this We just want to do white sir. Not the dark one just the white sir. So down click this Download and I believe this is going to put be put in the Wow conquer is weird. I don't know that I've ever used conquer as a web browser Let's open up our file file manager here. We want to find We want to find our downloads and see if it's actually downloaded into the to the downloads folder, which it did not And where did you put it? That's a good question, right? Where did you put it? All right, you want to know what?  All right Let's see here I need to copy and paste this link the links like said for everything that I download will be in the description with it with the Instructions and that I'm following. So if you miss a step, just scroll down below here And you'll see then the exact instructions that I'm following Not that I'm necessarily saying it over the right instructions because if I make a mistake off these instructions You follow them. You'll make the same mistake, but what are we gonna do? It's the way it's it's it's an adventure. All right, so We're here. We're gonna zoom in files and then download this here here All right download Say we're gonna save file because that's the way things should be and I make sure it's in the downloads folder It's safe. Okay and we can just That was cool. We can just Minimize that because we'll need it again later Now if we open up the file manager, we'll see that it's actually here. Okay Now we want to use extract this here. So we're just gonna do extract extract archive here and now we have a folder called white sir Okay, the next thing you want to do we'll Minimize this and we're gonna want to open up covantum covantum Okay covant the manager here we go and of course to open up on the wrong screen because that's the way things do The next thing I want to do is select covant them theme folder So this button here that button we just that thing we just Downloaded choose and hit install this theme Okay, I'm not sure if it's actually, you know, this thing already exists. Do you want to write it now? Okay? That's weird that it didn't give you any confirmation that it installed but whatever. All right So the next thing we want to do is just click change or delete this theme and We want to hit Select white sir from the drop-down. We should be all the way at the bottom here and click use this theme Okay, and the next thing we want to do is configure active theme, which is the next level here and we want to Underneath compositing in general look we want to change The window opacity to five and we want to change the increased menu opacity to 15 1415 and hit save Okay, and then we want to quit We want to open for settings panel again, which we're here Okay, we want to go to application style And we want to find covantum in this Thing here, which probably is going to be towards the end. I believe maybe no Phantom dark here. We go right here and we want to make sure it's applied Okay, which it is All right. Good That is done with covantum. Now the next thing we're going to be doing is widgets So we need to right click on the desktop and click add widgets and then we're going to want to Up here where it says So we're gonna first we're gonna do First we're gonna so we're gonna hit click Get new widgets up here at the top and then download new plasma widgets Okay, so we're gonna be installing several of these things so Get prepared The first thing we want to do is application title, which happens to be right at the top Install that okay, and then the next thing we want to do is latte separator latte Sep We're just gonna call that because then I want to learn how to spell things and Then the next one we want to do is latte spacer Okay, and then the next one is latte sidebar button latte Sidebar button Okay install this the next one is better inline clock Okay install that Okay, and then the next one is launch pad plasma. It's this one here and then Yes, I believe it's the top one that we want Okay, and then the next one is inline battery now if you do not have a battery in your system You do not have to install this I'm going to go ahead and do it. I don't know if it will work out very why well, but I'm just gonna go ahead install it. I'm on a you know a Desktop, so I don't actually have a battery, but just big sir inline battery will work. Okay And then the next one and I believe the last one No, there's a couple more. Sorry. Excuse me. The next one is it's called the KPPL menu KPPL menu and then install that one The next one is media player Now the one that we're on is called media media controller plus Which is this one right here? Okay, and then now we're in the last one It's called ditto and that's called the ditto menu. So we just install that one and Then we're done with widgets. We've got them all installed. We hit close. Okay That takes care with this now. We move on to latte doc So the first thing we want to do is install the get version of latte doc, which means we're going to have to open up Pumac again. So Yep, and we want to do the search thing here and do latte Doc and we want to make sure like I said, we want to make sure we get the get version, which is this one here and then apply Choose and enter our password wait for that to install apply and Transaction successfully completed. That's always nice to see Still not sure why that's not what well themed But maybe that's just an application problem I told you at the beginning that things are probably going to go wrong, but That's just the way things are sometimes. Alright, so the next thing we're going to want to do is get the doc theme Which is something I'm going to have to copy from this here copy link open up Firefox and Hit ctrl-v Enter Okay, so this is the Layout for our latte docs and we're going to want going to want to download Several things here. We're going to get the large version Which would be the one on top? We're gonna want to download this Download and save okay, and if you want you can go through and Change this one here to suit your needs. They're just small version But there's several other things we want to download. So we're gonna want to download extra icons hit save file save Make sure you remember where you're saving this stuff because Not all browsers save this stuff in the same spot We're also going to want to hit the get the walls wallpaper ones. So we download this this one might actually take a little bit Save and save Okay, and Get wallpapers and launch pad icon if they're there So I don't see the launch pad icon here. I'm hoping that comes in with the extra icons. Okay, so All right, the next thing we want to do is extract all three three Files that we just downloaded so we'll go back to our thing here. We want to extract extract here and then extract extract here And then the icons extract Extract here. All right. Yep. We did get the launchpad icon, which is good. All right Gonna make this a little bit bigger because we're getting a lot of freaking stuff here All right, so the next thing we want to do is open up latte doc Which we can do it from the application menu lot freaking latte and just open this up And then we're gonna have a lock a doc down here. So I Have log out and log back in here for some reason. I don't know why But I'm not going to do that unless I absolutely have to because I really don't want to pause the video and come back and reset all this junk up But for the next thing we're gonna do is remove the panel here. So just edit panel and then More options Remove panel. Okay, so we've removed the panel. Now all we have is latte dog. Okay now That was that was interesting. All right, so we've removed the remove the panel right click on latte doc And it uh, let's see here Layouts which is apparently Maybe this is the reason why Maybe this is the reason why you had to log in and log out because someone's think this stuff doesn't actually show up We should be actually be able to just do edit latte then Maybe Well, that's exactly what we're gonna have to do.  Okay now that we I've logged back in and gone to the trouble of you know Making sure that this actually works Our next step is to right click on here and hit layouts Manage layouts. We're gonna get this here and then we're going to want to click import and We're going to Want to import the large layout the first file that we just downloaded so we're gonna go on I want to go into downloads and then large latte right here import, okay Click on the new layout Which we just did which is called We're gonna actually see this for this one here and click switch oops, we need to apply and Then switch and there we go cool, huh? That looks we're getting we're getting close So what we just did was we added this doc here. We also added a bar up here. We're just cool, right? That means we don't have to go through and actually add a panel later on so We can click on We can close this here. We're done with this All right. Our next thing we want to do is in the top panel right click Then select configure latte sidebar button I Not sure which one it actually is Right, it's gonna be invisible. All right, so it's right next to the clock configure latte sidebar button And of course I opened up on the wrong monitor and we're going to want to click the blank icon and click choose We have to wait for this to show up here and click other icons and Brows and we're going to want to navigate to the extra icons thing that we just downloaded Which is Hmm, I'm actually got to open this up and see which one it is right to downloads Let's see here Extra Mac and macOS BS extra icons. This thing is called sidebar control center white That this one right here is the one we want. Okay, so Close this And it's called. Let's see here I'm actually not seeing it Yeah, it is right straight We're gonna choose the white one. I think is the one that we want if that's not right We can go back and choose. Yep. That shows it showed up that means we get the cool little, you know Sidebar here. All right, so the next thing we want to do is go to We'll make sure you apply it. Okay Okay, and the next we want to do is right click on the did a menu in the top bar, which is this one here and That can figure did it did a menu which again it opened up in the wrong month. I know I can fix that I'm just not doing it And we want to hit the icon choose Wait for it to show up other icons browse and we're want to choose Did a menu spotlight SVG so this one's here. I also believe we want to use the white one hit apply Okay, that just gives us this search bar, which brings up a spotlight thing that actually didn't showing up all that great I'm assuming that I did something wrong with like the fonts, but I don't think we're actually at the fonts part yet Okay, we hit okay and that we're done with that next we want to do Is right click on the latte doc at the bottom Click add widgets and we're gonna want to do Launchpad and we're gonna want to drag this down to the left side of the dock, which did not work There we go, and that gives us our application menu cool beans, huh? Okay? And we want to right click this and click configure launchpad plasma again wrong menu Wrong wrong monitor right click this choose other icons browse and then we wanted to launch pad SVG open apply Which believe not that didn't actually show up properly. I'm assuming that that would if You logged out and look back in I'm just assuming I'm hoping that that's the case if not hopefully it works better for you Okay, so now We want to actually we're gonna re-click on this figure latte, and we want to click Let's see here. Which one it is. Maybe it's in a layout. No, I'm sorry. I clicked on the wrong thing right click on this Configure launch pad plasma Get the damn thing over to the right screen and we want to enable custom group grid And make this eight by six eight by six apply and that means it it's gonna Show up on the wrong screen again, but there we go. That's what that looks like Again stop showing up on the wrong freaking screen That's really weird If you have multiple monitors, this isn't gonna work out all that great unless you configure the whole Mouth actually want to let's go do that because I'm sick of this Let's see here Cannot remember ever. I think it's workspace behavior. Maybe that's no Window management Movement Window actions. I never remember which where that thing is Focus I think it's gonna be this you know Focus follows mouse and then apply Then I don't have to you know keep moving the damn things are the wrong thing That should always mean that this focuses up on the right monitor You can obviously if you have another monitor, you can just duplicate this doc and put it on your other monitor as well. All right We're done with latte doc now. The next thing is the wallpaper and lock screen So we're gonna want to right click on the desktop And click Let's see you can figure desktop, which is let's see here Figure desktop and wallpaper. Okay, and then we're going to want to click wallpaper Add image and then We're gonna want to select go to the wallpaper one that we just downloaded so it's in the Courses this thing Downloads MacOS walls and we're not just like all these Open Okay, and then the one we want to choose is probably this one here It doesn't really matter which one of these you choose. I'm just gonna choose one of these and apply and There's that okay. All right now we want to open up settings which is here and we're gonna want to go to Start up and shut down Now this is only going to work if you're using the SDDM Logins manager, which I am not I'm using light DM. So I'm gonna show you the steps here here and if you If you are using SDDM, you'll have to follow these things I'm not actually going to follow them because like I said, it won't work for me because I'm not using SDDM so you want to click what get a lot new logged in screens. You want to click a Whicer DDM, so you make sure this is installed It's already installed for me and then you just want to make sure that it's selected here and apply And you're gonna need to enter your password Okay, and then you want to go to the next thing you want to do is go to workspace behavior, which is back up here and then a screen locking and You're going to want to click appearance which Is here and then you want to make sure white sir is Select white sir is what we're supposed to be doing here I'm just going to choose one of these wallpapers because I don't see what the instructions are telling me to do It doesn't really matter for me because like I said I Don't have I don't think I even have SDDM installed. All right, so Now we're moving on to additional settings By the way, we're almost done. We're very very close only two more So these are actually things that we don't actually have to do so If you're in a terminal Using like console we can actually go up here and do settings edit current profile and then change the Transparency and stuff here and stuff. I will leave that to you because What terminal you use is probably going to be different? If you're using console you can just go in here and make it look To your own, you know, you know liking and add you can add transparency and stuff I can actually show you how to do that and edit current profile appearance Let's see here. I believe edit is the right one and then just background transparency apply. Okay Okay, and That actually didn't add any transparency, I don't know why I Don't use console. So I'm completely lost The next thing you will want to do is go up here and click that right click this and click Configure capital capital menu. I'm just gonna call it the capital menu and click show advanced mode And then click change When I change the app store here to whatever app store you want to use here and I'm going to use Panak manager, so We just type in Panak Dash manager and apply Okay, and that way when you open up this and hit app store It'll actually open up the app store that you want to you know, you're supposed to be using and Panak still is not properly themed anyways For the most part We're done. So it doesn't look exactly like I thought it was going to but It's very very close There's some weird artifacting at the bottom of the screen that I don't know What's going on there? I have a Feeling it has something to do with Also, I just keep experiencing clothes as Hey colors it should be When we have white shirt sir and you know enabled so Plasma style should be white sir. We did everything properly. I'm just not sure why that weird thing is at the bottom I'm sure and there's also a weird The latte spacer thing we we need to it needs to not be there Because that looks makes it look really funky clothes not actually sure how to remove it Yeah, there we go and that close It still has a weird Weird space there anyways cancer. You probably will figure out how to do that. So let's uh Close this thing out here because this has been The longest video in the history of videos and I have to go edit it now. So yeah me This is Very very rudimentary Several things here went wrong. So there's that weird space at the bottom. There's that weird space in the thing at the top Those are things that unfortunately You're gonna have to figure it on your own if they happen for you because I don't know what the hell is going on there So thanks for watching if you enjoy this video hit a thumbs up if you find a better tutorial someplace that fixes the issues that I've countered leave it in this video description if You're having problems leave comments, maybe I can go through and help you I'm not an expert on this This is just you know the way it worked out for me. So the last thing I need to do actually is Do this I need to thank our patreon Which I'm actually gonna have to go find his name. So So I would like to thank Devon see I'm just gonna not say your last name like at all because I would butcher it But thank you Devon see for being our patreon This is your first shout out as an executive producer I'll probably make a cool little graphic eventually someday when I'm you know Want to do that so but thank you for that if you'd like to support us on patreon You can do so just go to patreon.com slash the links cast You can also support us by just subscribing, which is you know the easiest way to do it Make sure hit the notification icon because I produce Linux content seven days a week Some of it is as terrible as this some of it is worse. That's just the way it works Anyways, thanks for watching. I'll see you next time


Candida albicans is a fungus that can exist both as a harmless commensal organism and as a dangerous pathogen. It is able to maintain this balance by sensing the presence of a sugar called enacetylglicosamine, GLCNAC. When present, GLCNAC helps the fungus to grow as a commensal organism, but when absent it allows the fungus to switch into a more aggressive form that can cause serious illnesses. This ability to sense GLCNAC and respond accordingly is what allows the fungus to survive in different environments. This article was authored by Danden Yang, Mao Zhang, Chang Tzu, and others.


Can I just say that I was not criticising the motion so much as criticising the rank hypocrisy that was coming from members on your benches? I think that the record will show Mr Dornan's denunciation of the motion later. However, I want to return to the issue in NHS Tayside that a number of members have referred to, because there are a whole range of serious problems within that board area alone. NHS Tayside is missing five out of eight key waiting time targets and has failed to provide data for another, meaning that they are currently only meeting one quarter of their vital targets. We had the recent well-documented episode with the misuse of endowment funds, which have had now to be repaid. What was the cabinet secretary's response? It was to sack the chair of NHS Tayside, a hugely well-respected health professional John Connell, who has been in office for just 18 months, despite the fact that the problems that had been written in NHS Tayside predated his period in office, and yet he was thrown to the wolves by the cabinet secretary. He and other senior figures treated as human shields by the health secretary made to take the blame for failures not of their making. What is most concerning about the situation in NHS Tayside is the financial position, because we now have total brokerage supplied by the Scottish Government of over £33 million, with another £12 million expected, all of which we assume the board will be asked to pay back at some point. It is impossible to see this being done without a major impact on the patient experience, and it will not be saved by simply cancelling one-off prescriptions of paracetamol. I will happily give way to the health secretary. I have already clarified the issue of the paracetamol, but that is why we have said to NHS Tayside that it does not have to repay that for a period of at least three years in order to make sure that patient care is not impacted. Surely that is something that the member would welcome. The people that I represent in areas such as Perth and Cynros want to see is the impact that that cost-cutting is going to have on a long-term or immediate-term basis on the delivery of local services. We have seen plans that the health secretary will be aware of to remove all emergency surgery from Perth Royal Infirmary and relocate that to Ninewells and to replace that with the elective surgery that is moving in the aller direction. However, what guarantees do we now have that that programme will continue? It could not be given by the management of NHS Tayside when a number of colleagues, including myself, met them just two weeks ago. What does that mean for the future of accident and emergency at Perth Royal Infirmary if cost savings are having to be made? Communities across Perth and Cynros have fought hard over recent years to retain services, and yet, once again, they potentially face risks due to financial failures on the watch of the health secretary. My colleague Liz Smith referred in the debate earlier to the question of integrated joint boards. Those were concerns that were reflected by many people. I think that there are huge issues here over a line of governance and accountability, and it is a model fast-losing public confidence and it is calling out for review and greater transparency around the decision-making process. We are not today calling for the resignation of the health secretary, although press reports are to be relieved, even some of our SNP colleagues are expecting her to be reshuffled. That in itself will not make anything better in the NHS. Instead, what we need is a new focus on sorting out the problems in Scotland's health service. That needs to start with this Parliament having a much greater sight of what exactly is happening with health service spending. We need to know that the money is being properly spent and we need to stop being in denial about the scale of some of the problems that we face. That is what staff in the NHS need to give them the reassurance that they need. It is what patients want to see and it is what our constituents expect from us. I urge Parliament to support the motion in Miles Briggs's name. Thank you very much, and that concludes our debate on NHS financial accountability. The next item of business is consideration of business motion 12.003, the name of Joe Fitzpatrick on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a business programme. I would ask any member who wishes to speak against the motion to say so now. I call on Joe Fitzpatrick to move the motion. Formally moved. Thank you very much. Known as asked to speak, therefore, the question is that motion 12.003 be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are agreed. The next item of business is consideration of three bureau motions. Can I ask Joe Fitzpatrick on behalf of the Bureau to move motions 12.004, 12.005 on committee meeting times and motion 12.006 on designation of a lead committee? Move together. So we turn to decision time. The first question is the amendment 11984.4, in the name of Shona Robison, which seeks to amend motion 11984, in the name of Miles Briggs, on NHS financial accountability, be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are agreed. The next question is the amendment 11984.1, in the name of Anas Sarwar, which seeks to amend the motion in the name of Miles Briggs, be agreed. Are we agreed? No. We are not agreed. We moved a division. Members may cast their votes now. The result of the vote on amendment 11984.1, in the name of Anas Sarwar, is yes, 60, no, 61. There were no abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed. The next question is the motion 11984, in the name of Miles Briggs, as amended, on NHS financial accountability, be agreed. Are we all agreed? Yes. We are agreed. I propose to ask a single question on 3 Parliamentary Viewer motion. Does anyone object? No. That's good. The question therefore is that motions 12004 to 12006, in the name of Joffith Patrick, be agreed. Are we all agreed? Yes. We are agreed. Thank you very much. That concludes decision time. We will now move to members' business, in the name of Mark Ruskell, on civil contingency in nuclear weapons transport. We'll just take a few moments for members and the ministers to change their seats.


All right, everyone, that's a wrap on IstioCon 2023. Thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you've enjoyed hearing from Oregon and WeCamp and Inuit about how they've been using Istio to build platforms. Hope you've found patterns that you've got on your Istio journey. I want to give a special thanks to our diamond sponsors, Google Cloud, for making all of this conference possible. And I want to encourage that the conversation can continue. We've got resources here. This QR code will take you to slack.istio.io where you can sign up to convert other users of Istio as well as the developers asking questions. You can also get involved at our GitHub repo here. I want to take a moment at the end to thank the program organizers, both the program committee members, as well as the events team at the CNCF for putting all of this together. Thank you to the time that you invested in your talks to make sure that they were clear and communicated well. I know that I learned a lot and I have a lot of re-watching to do to continue passing this information. Speaking of the conversation continuing, we also have the upcoming Istio Day North America. This is a co-located event with CubeCon. It's going to be happening on November 6th, 2023 in our very own Chicago. So I hope to see you on site there in Chicago. Have a good evening.


I became a libertarian by reading the Science Fiction Trilogy Illuminatus by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea when I was in, I think, eighth grade. It imbued me with this sort of very humanist sense of just the terror and evil of a system that used violence to order people around, and it was intellectual on a few different levels. It certainly wasn't like a lesson in Austrian economics or anything like that, but it introduced me to that world, and it was through reading that book that I did, I think when I was in ninth grade, end up reading Henry Hasselt's Economics in One Lesson, which hooked me into the economic end of libertarian argument, which leads you down that wonderful Mises Rothbard rabbit hole, and here I am.
