Advanced Reactor Application Guidance

The Advanced Reactor Application Guidance table provides references for a technology-inclusive, risk-informed and performance-based licensing. It supports applications to be submitted under 10 CFR Part 50 and Part 52, and also supports the 10 CFR Part 53 rulemaking effort.
 
Note: The guidance table below has links to documents in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), which is the official recordkeeping system for the agency. Any references that do not have links are not official agency records and the user would need to request access from the document owner.

Draft documents included in the table should not be considered as official NRC guidance, unless otherwise endorsed or published as such.
