What You Should Expect at NRF 2023

How to get the most out of nrf 2023, final thoughts: nrf 2023 — what to expect from retail's big show in 2023.

NRF 2023 will be held from Jan. 15 to 17, 2023, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. The National Retail Federation (NRF) has also planned an opening party on Jan. 14, 2023.

The event will feature innovative retail solutions for all kinds of retailers. For example, the Innovation Lab will help many companies introduce new cutting-edge technologies in the retail field .

On top of that, attendees will be able to meet other retailers and build solid professional relationships.

Here's a closer look at what you can expect at NRF 2023:

NRF Innovation Lab

The NRF Innovation Lab will cover the latest developments in the retail industry that can change how retail businesses deliver customer experiences.

The Innovation Lab will showcase technologies in areas such as:

• Machine learning
• Artificial intelligence (AI)
• Augmented reality (AR)
• Virtual reality (VR)

There will also be 110 Exhibitor Big Ideas sessions on five stages where various companies will share case studies and showcase their latest products.

Consumer Product Showcase

The Consumer Product Showcase will set NRF 2023 apart from past events like NRF 2022. It'll help attendees see breakout products from entrepreneurs, brands, suppliers, and small businesses.

Marketplaces and large retailers will also be able to discover new products, network with diverse businesses, and identify new and trending inventory.

Retail Leaders From Some of the Biggest International Retail Brands

Over 350 speakers and 800 exhibitors will feature in NRF 2023. They'll inspire and advise retailers on the latest operations, talent, growth, and business model breakthroughs.

Some of the prominent speakers will include:

• Brian Cornell, CEO of Target. He’ll converse with some top female leaders from Target. They'll be discussing how you can build a robust corporate culture and Target’s vision of retail leadership in the future.

Exciting Experiences at the Expanded Jacob K. Javits Convention Center 

The expansion of the Javits Center was completed in September 2021, enlarging the capacity by 1.2 million square feet . 

As a result, there will be dynamic new spaces for all the events in NRF 2023, with improved operational efficiency and reduced traffic congestion.

You’ll also be able to relax at the new lounges and listen to live music, get a caricature drawing, eat chocolates, take pictures, charge your electronics, and more.

Before NRF 2023 begins, here are some tips to help you prepare and get the most out of the event:

Set Clear Goals on What You Want To Gain From the Event

Before the convention starts, reflect on what you want to learn about omnichannel retailing . Set specific goals for what you want to gain from NRF 2023. 

Here are some examples:

• Find the latest digital solutions to your company's persistent issues
• Look for new technology to replace your legacy systems
• Look for breakthrough experiences and ideas to help you stand out from the competition
• Meet other retailers and build solid professional relationships

Plan for the Sessions You Want To Attend

It'll be impossible to be everywhere at the conference, so prioritize which sessions you want to attend and maximize your time on them.  

For instance, NRF 2023 will feature several exciting programs, such as:

• Innovation Lab : Immersive exhibition that showcases breakthrough technologies.
• Big Ideas from Exhibitors : Aimed at showing attendees how products work in the real world.
• Startup Zone : Connect with new retail businesses and learn about their ideas.
• Food Technology Pavilion : Designed to meet the needs of various food service businesses.

You can look at the full conference agenda before the event begins and mark the sessions that interest you the most.

Plan and Optimize Your Time Well

Plan your coffee and lunch breaks to coincide with the people you want to meet. Optimize this opportunity to make connections with top retailers in the omnichannel retailing industry.

You can also plan to attend the guided Retail Store Tours , where a retail industry expert will lead each guided tour to several carefully selected stores. As a result, you'll be able to gain insider insights and hear from industry subject matter experts.

As you pack your bags to attend NRF 2023, stick to comfortable outfits and shoes (you can leave those high heels and scratchy sweaters behind). Also, keep your business cards on hand during the conference in case you meet people you want to partner with. 

NRF 2023 will be an excellent place to network. Here are some of the events you shouldn’t miss during the show:

• Opening Party
• VC Startup Meetups
• Retail’s CIO Party
• Retail Table Talks
• Donut Dunks

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.
