NRC individual plant examination program overview
Description
An Individual Plant Examination (IPE) is a systematic examination of a nuclear power plant for vulnerabilities or risk significant contributors. All licensees of commercial nuclear power plants in the United States are expected to perform IPEs for their units. The IPE program is expected to benefit both the nuclear industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by providing a means by which a basic understanding of severe accident behavior can be achieved at the plant specific level. A brief overview and status of the NRC IPE program is provided in this paper
