Past Non-Light Water Reactor Activities and Pre-application Safety Evaluation Reports

In the past, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and its predecessor, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), performed reviews of advanced non-Light Water Reactor (non-LWR) designs using the regulations applicable at the time. The table below includes several of the pre-application Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs), along with other NRC documents pertinent to advanced non-LWR technologies. In addition, prelicensing interactions regarding the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) began in 2006 and were suspended in 2013.
