Status and Path Forward on Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 2.1 - Seismic

摘要

Following the March 2011 accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi a task force was formed at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to review relevant regulatory requirements, programs, and processes, and their implementation, to recommend whether the agency should make improvements to the regulatory system. One recommendation (NTTF R2.1)1 of the task force involves re-evaluating the seismic and flooding hazards at operating reactor sites. This paper will describe the seismic-related activities being pursued to address NTTF R2.1.
