NRC staff proposes ROP, security inspection overhauls
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff is recommending proposed changes for the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) baseline inspection program that could reduce the number of hours spent annually on direct inspections at U.S. nuclear power plants by 38 percent.
In addition to the proposed ROP changes, NRC staff published recommendations for the baseline security program that would reduce the number of direct inspection hours necessary for this program by about 50 percent compared to current levels. This includes the Force-on-Force (FOF) inspection program.

Molten salt chemistry is important for molten salt applications in molten salt reactors, pyrochemical separation as well as energy storage. The chemistry includes the fundamental properties of the salt, salt purification, material separation and impurity removal, and material corrosion and corrosion control. The panel will cover all those topics. Considering that both molten chloride and fluoride salts have significant applications in the nuclear field, the panel will cover both types of salt. We will invite international experts from universities and national laboratories (domestic and international) to be on the panel to present their understanding and recent progress in molten salt chemistry.
