Mitigation of Beyond-Design-Basis Events Rule

The poster will provide an update on a rule that would establish requirements for the mitigation of beyond design basis events. This rule would do the following:

• Make generically applicable those requirements that were previously imposed by order for mitigating beyond design basis external events and for remotely monitoring spent fuel pool levels.
• Include provisions to have an integrated response capability.
• Include requirements for increased emergency response capabilities for multiunit events.
• Address a number of petitions for rulemaking submitted in the aftermath of the Fukushima Dai ichi event.
