Digital upgrades are moving forward through the conceptual to design and licensing for both non-safety and safety systems in operating reactors around the world. This session will focus on the challenges and opportunities for expanding these upgrades and the associated system selection, cost-benefit analysis, streamlined licensing and benefits to operating staff. Speakers from NRC, national labs, operating utilities, NEI, vendors and international will provide a short overview from their respective viewpoints. Key areas such as optimization of licensing using NRC Interim Staff Guidance ISG-06, Rev 2 as well as the latest EPRI guidance will also be addressed.
