Nineteenth annual national Energy and Environmental Quality Division conference

摘要

This paper provides a discussion of the research and development process used by Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) to assist the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in developing the revised Regulatory Guidance for Nuclear Plant Operations. The Regulatory Guides (RGs) involved in this activity are: RG 1.28, RG 1.x13, and RG 1.33. These RGs provide endorsement of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA-1, NQA-2, and American Nuclear Society (ANS) 3.2, respectively. This paper focuses on the activities taken to develop the revision to RG 1.33.
