NRC regulatory information conference

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5529498
With the shift of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) focus from construction to operations, culminating in 1987, the NRC staff's inspections and review and analysis of information have resulted in initiatives in many areas, including the Severe Accident Program, requalification, emergency operating procedures, maintenance, design reconstitution, and other areas related to operational safety. The purpose of this conference was to provide a unique forum for nonconfrontational communications between NRC management and senior managers in the nuclear industry. Also, the conference was to provide a stage for NRC to articulate any concerns related to industry's implementation of safety initiatives and to clarify any industry concerns about NRC regulatory actions. The NRC's intent with regard to this conference was to facilitate a better understanding by the licensed community of the basis for NRC's regulatory initiatives. The NRC provided information in implemented initiatives and their bases and discussed its expectations for new initiatives in hopes that this type of exchange would foster a better understanding between the industry and the NRC regarding initiatives to achieve improved plant safety.
