Alternate Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to update its regulations to provide more realistic fracture toughness requirements for protecting against pressurized thermal shock events in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). This change aims to reduce regulatory burdens on licensees while maintaining safety standards.
