NEUP IRP-22-28312: Developing the technical basis and risk assessment tools for flexible plant operation

Nuclear energy is potentially well suited to flexible missions, including efficient and cost-effective co-generation with industrial heat applications. There are inherent challenges and regulatory concerns associated with expanded application of the existing fleet of light water reactors to support on- and off-grid applications. This proposal addresses challenges related to operations and maintenance, human factors, and risk assessment to enable flexible plant operation and generation (FPOG).
