In anticipation of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission generic letter regarding accident management, the Boiling Water Reactor Owners' Group (BWROG) has commissioned the development of Accident Management Guidelines (AMGs). One outgrowth of the industry performance of individual plant examinations (IPES) is the development of more effective accident management guidance to prevent or mitigate the effects of severe accidents. The BWROG is determining a process for integrating these insights into a coherent format that can be implemented by BWR owners as part of accident management.
