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.”

On May 23, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 14302, directing that the official policy of the United States government is to promote and expedite the expansion of nuclear energy technology and associated industries. The EO sets ambitious goals focused on adding new GWs to the grid through uprates and new large nuclear projects, improving nuclear fuel supply chains, and addressing national spent nuclear fuel management challenges. Understanding how companies aim to support these ambitious goals and how the transformational issues like nuclear waste management could be tackled will be paramount to potential collaborators, advocates, vendors, and others interested in the growth of nuclear energy in the United States.
