Representatives of nuclear power plant licensees and the NRC will present recent history of new and spent fuel pool criticality analyses and licensing basis, focusing on recent experiences, challenges, and successes in analyses and licensing actions (i.e. License Amendment Requests) while working with the recently promulgated NRC Regulatory Guide 1.240, Fresh and Spent Fuel Pool Criticality Analyses. Reg Guide 1.240 represents the culmination of a concerted industry and NRC effort to address many issues related to SFP criticality analyses and is a great step forward in this area
