Public Workshop: Reliability of Reactor Designs Proposing To Use Passive Safety Systems

Resumo

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing a public workshop on reliability assessments of safety system designs having passive features. The purpose of the workshop is to review the present status of available methodology for assessing safety systems having passive features, to discuss possible improvements in these methods and to develop guidelines for performing meaningful assessments of such systems. This action is being taken to initiate a dialogue on this important topic and to provide the opportunity for early public participation in the development of review methods and criteria for passive safety systems. In addition to open public participation in this workshop, the NRC is inviting all known interested parties to attend.
