TH33 Probabilistic, Risk-Informed Approaches within the Fuel Cycle Arena

This session will include a discussion of experts addressing the probabilistic, risk-informed approaches within the fuel cycle arena. Discussion topics will include international proposal and the current scope for performing a quantitative/probabilistic safety assessment for a fuel cycle facility, international perspective on using a graded approach to fuel cycle licensing, status and proposed uses of the American Nuclear Society’s standard ANS 57.11, “Integrated Safety Assessments for Nonreactor Nuclear Facilities,” for nonreactor nuclear facilities, regulatory perspectives on using risk insights in licensing and inspection programs, and industry perspectives on where/how risk insights are used in facility operations.
