NRC announces accelerated review of Oak Ridge enrichment facility
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it intends to complete its review of Orano Enrichmentâs license application to build and operate a new uranium enrichment facility near Oak Ridge, Tenn., in 12 months. Orano submitted its application for the multibillion-dollar facility, named Project Ike, in March.
SAPHIRE was created to analyze probabilistic risk assessments (PRA). This development process was started in 1987 at the request of the NRC and continues today. The Idaho National Laboratory's (INL) role in the SAPHIRE program is that of software developer and interface to the user community, including training and technology transfer.
