This panel will focus on the current applications of risk-informed, performance-based approaches in nuclear safety and regulation. Discussions will address both existing light-water reactors and advanced reactor technologies, covering various stages of the nuclear power plant lifecycle, including design certification, construction permits, operating license amendments, and long-term asset management. Experts will share insights into contemporary risk-informed, performance-based methodologies, regulatory drivers, and practical implementation. Drawing from recent experiences in the United States and internationally, ranging from first-of-a-kind advanced reactor designs to life extension efforts for the existing light-water reactor fleet, panelists will highlight key lessons learned.
