Session Chair:
Eric A. Thornsbury
Session Organizer:
In this panel session, each panelist will discuss their perspectives on needed improvements in risk analysis methods and tools to support the development and deployment of advanced reactors. Because advanced reactors are expected to employ more advanced systems designed to operate differently than the existing large, commercial, operating plants, improvements in existing risk methods and tools may be beneficial. The range of panelists will provide perspectives from advanced reactor developers and current utilities that are looking toward future advanced reactor construction and operation. Each speaker will provide a 10-minute summary, followed by a question-and-answer opportunity.
