Risk-based regulation (RBR) and performance-based regulation (PBR) are two relatively new concepts for the regulation of nuclear reactor power plants by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Although RBR and PBR are often considered to be somewhat equivalent, they, in fact, address two fundamentally different regulatory questions. To fruitfully discuss these two concepts, it is important to recognize what each entails. This paper identifies those two fundamental questions and discusses how they are addressed by RBR and PBR.
