Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Cost Reduction Opportunities
Monday, August 5, 2024|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Calusa 11/12
The panel will discuss successes and challenges when implementing Risk-Informed (RI) programs, including implementation of RI Fire Protection Program (NFPA 805), and 10CFR50.69 RI relaxation of requirements for low-safety significant SSCs, and Code Case N-752-1, RI Categorization and Treatment for Repair/Replacement Activities in Class 2 and 3 Systems.
The panel will share the benefits and cost savings achieved as a result of implementing these programs. The panel will also provide anecdotes from industry experience regarding issues that have complicated efficient implementation and maintenance of these programs and the ability to achieve real cost savings.
