Risk-informed, performance-based design in INL’s MARVEL reactor
The American Nuclear Society’s Risk-informed, Performance-based Principles and Policy Committee (RP3C) has held another presentation in its monthly Community of Practice (CoP) series. Former RP3C chair N. Prasad Kadambi opened the meeting with brief introductory remarks about the RP3C and the need for new approaches to nuclear design that go beyond conventional and deterministic methods. He then welcomed this month’s speaker: Doug Gerstner, a nuclear safety engineer at Idaho National Laboratory, who presented “Application of a Qualitative RIPB Approach for the MARVEL Microreactor at INL.”

Building the Nuclear Century
For decades, nuclear technology has quietly powered progress: clean energy, advanced isotope research, lifesaving medical treatments, space applications, national security, and more. As nuclear reemerges in public conversation, we’re ready to build bigger and better than ever before. The blueprints are bold—and you’re a part of the design.
Whether you’re new to the industry or a seasoned expert, the 2025 ANS Winter Conference & Expo is your chance to connect, learn, and collaborate with every sector of nuclear.
Executive sessions will bring you face-to-face with senior officials from the administration and Congress as they unpack the latest executive orders.
Explore visionary strategies with industry leaders to grow the workforce, revitalize supply chains, accelerate commercialization, and amplify public advocacy.
Engage with cutting-edge technologies on the exhibit floor and exchange ideas that will shape a new nuclear century.
This is where the future takes form. Together, we’re creating real solutions for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Step into the moment, shape the conversation, and join us in Building the Nuclear Century at the 2025 ANS Winter Conference & Expo in Washington, D.C.
