Outline and schedule for the HTGR-SC/C licensing plan

Description: The Licensing Plan is based on licensing a HTGR-SC/C lead plant in the near term. The plan also provides reference safety material and a basis (requirements, criteria, etc.) for licensing commercial follow-on plants. The plan is structured in two parts: program management and project management, and covers three sequences of licensing activities: pre-application, construction permit application, and operating licensing application. Major activities and a schedule of events are outlined in these… more

Postulated licensing schedule for an independent spent fuel storage installation

Description: A review of licensing requirements, processes, and anticipated actions for independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs) was conducted in order to develop an estimated schedule and sequence of events for licensing a new ISFSI. This estimate will be useful to potential ISFSI owners in planning for the licensing of their facilities. It is concluded that, although many uncertainties exist with respect to such things as legal appeals, about 29 months are estimated to elapse between license … more

Gas Reactor International Cooperative Program. Interim report. Safety and licensing evaluaion of German Pebble Bed Reactor concepts

Description: The Pebble Bed Gas Cooled Reactor, as developed in the Federal Republic of Germany, was reviewed from a United States Safety and Licensing perspective. The primary concepts considered were the steam cycle electric generating pebble bed (HTR-K) and the process heat pebble bed (PNP), although generic consideration of the direct cycle gas turbine pebble bed (HHT) was included. The study examines potential U.S. licensing issues and offers some suggestions as to required development areas.

Application of bridging methods for standard HTGR [High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor] licensing bases

Description: A review of the bridging methods is accomplished by providing an application of the process to the standard HTGR. A representative PRA, of limited range, is used in the process, and representative deterministic licensing bases are obtained. The PRA is presented as a risk plot, and the characteristics of the events and the equipment in the PRA are used in the bridging application. Representative licensing basis events are identified consisting of anticipated operational occurrences, design basis… more
