NRC adopts ROP updates
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved a significant overhaul of its Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) baseline inspection program that stresses a leaner, more risk-focused inspection process.
This adoption comes just over a month after NRC officials published their findings on the proposed ROP changes. The changes would reduce the number of hours spent annually on direct inspections at U.S. nuclear power plants by 38 percent.

The A THERMAL code is used to calculate the temperature rise and subsequent evaporation of liquid Pb and Li films bombarded with the debris of ICF targets. Temperature increases resulting from the various species are combined with vapor pressure data to yield evaporation rates and the subsequent total amount of Pb or Li vaporized from a thermonuclear explosion.
