NRC shares details on proposed rules to streamline hearing timelines
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s adjudicatory hearings have not received any significant reforms since 2004. In fact, according to NRC staff, these Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) hearings have only undergone major reform three times in the board’s history.
That would change under a proposed rule that was issued earlier this month. At a March 19 virtual meeting, NRC staff provided more details on the proposed changes.

A steady-state simulation of a 19-tube model once-through steam generator (OTSG) was performed with the TRAC-PF1 thermal-hydraulic computer code. The predicted steady-state results were not in good agreement with the experimental data. Underprediction of the observed superheat temperature was obtained. The current safety analysis computer programs use the Chen correlation. A modification in the Chen boiling correlation produced satisfactory results for use in OTSG analysis.
