Prioritization of generic safety issues for nuclear power plants
Conference

OSTI ID:5256575
NRC tracks all reactor safety issues to assure appropriate action for their resolution. Since it is beyond agency resources to seek resolution of all issues simultaneously, the NRC has instituted a prioritization program to assure that the most important issues receive primary attention. This program is the responsibility of the Safety Program Evaluation Branch in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. The program objective is to use quantitative measures of benefits and costs and qualitative factors in ranking issues. PML, under contract, provided technical assistance in the development of cost and risk estimate. This paper describes the approach to NRC priority decisions and includes three illustrative examples.
