Nuclear Policy and Regulatory Specialist
About Susan Lee
In 2023, Susan Lee led the technical review that reshaped the IAEA’s guidance on digital I&C system licensing for small modular reactors, replacing decades-old analog-era assumptions with risk-informed, cyber-physical validation protocols. She doesn’t treat regulation as static code but as living infrastructure: her 2021 white paper on 'adaptive safety case maintenance' became foundational for regulators in Canada and South Korea evaluating AI-assisted diagnostic tools in control rooms. Trained in both reactor physics and administrative law, she insists that every footnote in a regulatory guide must map to an observable failure mode, not just theoretical compliance. Her work avoids abstraction by anchoring policy in operator interviews, probabilistic safety assessments, and real-world outage data from Gen III+ plants currently under construction. She’s skeptical of 'innovation-first' rhetoric unless it’s paired with traceable defense-in-depth analysis, and has publicly challenged three vendor-submitted autonomy claims for lacking fault propagation modeling.
