Appendix E: NRC Safety Goals
Advanced Reactors
Table E.1
| NRC goal1 | Hybrid assessment |
|---|---|
| A . Highly reliable and less complex shutdown and decay heat removal systems. The use of inherent or passive means to accomplish this objective is encouraged (negative temperature coefficient, natural circulation, etc.) | Easily Met. Multiple, highly reliable, and simple (gravity) methods shut down the reactor—see TECHNICAL: Reactor. Passive, diverse, simple, and reliable decay heat removal methods cool the reactor—see SAFETY: Decay Heat Removal |
| B. Longer time constants and sufficient instrumentation to allow for more diagnosis and management before reaching safety systems challenge and/or exposure of vital equipment to adverse conditions |
