A New Look at Licensing Basis Events for the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
- Vanderbilt Univ., Nashville, TN (United States)
Southern Company and industry partners have created the Licensing Technical Requirements Modernization Project (LMP) to identify important elements of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulatory process that need to be updated or adapted to support advanced non–light water reactors (LWR s). The objectives of the LMP are to identify gaps in the regulatory process for non-LWR designs and to propose solutions based on greater use of risk-informed and/or performance-based practices on a technology-inclusive basis [1] . This project is being coordinated with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) through the Advanced Reactor Working Group.
