USNRC perspective on research for near term reactors
Description
The author explained that on the background of the resurgence of nuclear power in the US, several new plant design have been proposed, for which the USNRC performs licensing reviews and, if necessary, conducts confirmatory tests. Research has provided the basis for analytical tools that are used for the review. Research will continue to be needed to confirm new or unique features of near term reactor designs. In this area, research needs are at a transition point from providing design support to assisting operational oversight. (author)
