VISION AND STRATEGY

Our roadmap to effectively and efficiently review non-light water reactor technologies, with details regarding implementation action plans.

Infrastructure needed to support a risk informed, technology-inclusive regulatory framework for advanced reactor licensing.

Development and revisions of policies regarding the review of non-light water reactor technologies.

Current licensing and pre-application activities for advanced non-light water reactor technologies.

Information for stakeholder engagement such as public meetings, workshops, and other activities.

Bi-lateral cooperation efforts to inform the technical reviews and licensing of non-light water advanced reactor technologies.

The integrated review schedule is based on six core strategies described in our implementation action plan.

A repository of information that could help applicants developing the source term for specific reactor designs.

NRC-DOE workshops and NRC-sponsored training materials.

White papers and reports on advanced reactors prepared by the NRC, its contractors and third parties.
