September 13-17, 2009

Realism and Criticality Safety:

  • Critical Experiments
  • Modeling Assumptions
  • Accident scenarios
  • Safety Margin
  • Industry Lessons Learned
  • Nuclear Data and Benchmark Selection

Robustness in Controls:

  • Development of Criticality Controls
  • Requirements and Standards role
  • Implementation of Criticality Controls
  • Double Contingency
  • International experience
  • New 10CFR70 Subpart H

Ready for the Renaissance:

  • Status and scope of GNEP and New Enrichment Facilities
  • Criticality safety needs for the fuel cycle (enrichment, fabrication, transportation, storage and disposal)
  • Harvesting existing benchmark data (fuel cycle and nuclear data)
  • In-situ measurements
  • Criticality safety and engineering design
  • Use of computerized control systems
  • People needs, training and education
