Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is performing additional research and analysis on fuel fragmentation, relocation and dispersal under Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) conditions and is soliciting relevant input from interested parties on various technical issues associated with this subject. The purpose of this meeting is to have technical discussions and an information exchange related to research on fuel fragmentation, relocation and dispersal under LOCA conditions. Various potential approaches to regulatory resolution of fuel fragmentation, relocation and dispersal under LOCA conditions will also be discussed. The potential implications of the research findings to the analysis of non-LOCA events that result in fuel rod rupture will also be discussed. Stakeholders from industry, research institutes, licensees and utilities, regulatory agencies, both domestic and international, and other interested public stakeholders are encouraged to participate in the meeting.
