Impacts of Risk-Informed Licensing Actions at Nuclear Power Plants

Sponsored by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
The purpose of this exhibit is to provide the status of and impacts that risk-informed licensing actions have had on Nuclear Power Plants and on the NRC. The learning objectives are: 1. To learn about the history of risk-informed licensing actions at nuclear power plants. 2. To learn about the status of risk-informed licensing actions at nuclear power plants. 3. To learn about the impacts that risk-informed licensing actions have had on nuclear power plants and the NRC. 4. To learn about future plans for risk-informed licensing actions at nuclear power plants. The exhibit will focus on risk-informed licensing actions that apply to nuclear power plants such as TSTF-505, 10 CFR 50.69, NFPA - 805, TSTF-425, RIsk-Informed Inservice Inspections/Testing, Seismic Probabilistic Risk Assessments, and the RIPE process. The takeaway message is that risk-informed licensing actions at nuclear power plants have had positive impacts on both licensees and the NRC and in many cases have resulted in safety improvements at nuclear power plants.
