Joint Committee on Nuclear Risk Management – – ANS/ASME (JCNRM)

The Joint Committee on Nuclear Risk Management has the following scope:

The American Nuclear Society/American Society of Mechanical Engineers Joint Committee on Nuclear Risk Management is responsible for the development and maintenance of standards that establish safety and risk criteria and methods for probabilistic analysis, risk assessment, and risk management. These criteria and methods are applicable to design, development, construction, operation, decontamination and decommissioning, waste management, and environmental restoration for nuclear facilities.

Currently the JCNRM is involved in the following projects:

• ANS-58.22, Low Power and Shutdown PRA Methodology
• ANS-58.24, Severe Accident Progression and Radiological Release (Level 2) PRA Methodology to Support Nuclear Installation Applications
• ANS-58.25, Standard for Radiological Accident Offsite Consequence Analysis (Level 3 PRA) to Support Nuclear Installation Applications
• ASME/ANS RA-S, "Standard for Level 1/Large Early Release Frequency Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Nuclear Power Plant Applications"
