Educational Session|Plant Reliability & Engineering
The regulatory and operational environment for nuclear plants is evolving to leverage additional risk-informed improvements. This panel will focus on four immediate opportunities that can strengthen safety margins, improve plant efficiency, and reduce unnecessary regulatory burden.
Industry experts will discuss:
- Opportunities to update administrative technical specifications to streamline implementation of risk informed technical specifications and 50.69
- Leveraging the newly approved (Q3 2025) risk-informing passive component categorization process to significantly reduce the resources required to implement 50.69
- Ongoing work to improve the realism in industry failure rate data, and how plants can capitalize on these improvements
- Applying risk insights to Technical Specification 3.0.3 actions to better align shutdown decisions with actual plant safety and risk impact
