Reactor Operational Experience
Key Topics
Reactor Safety Focus Areas
As part of operational experience monitoring, the agency will periodically encounter certain reactor systems or management areas it identifies as focus areas. This section describes focus areas that the agency is reviewing or working to improve and upgrade:
- Implementing Lessons Learned from Fukushima
- Concrete Degradation at Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant
- Steam Generator Tube Degradation at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)
- Davis-Besse Reactor Vessel Head Degradation
- Fire Protection Program
- Fitness-for-Duty Programs
- Access Authorization Programs
- Human Factors
- Operating Reactor Maintenance Effectiveness
- Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone Column
- PWR Sump Performance
- Reactor Pressure Boundary Integrity Issues for Pressurized Water Reactors
- Reactor Vessel Integrity
- Steam Generator Action Plan
- Groundwater Contamination (Tritium)
- Buried Piping Activities
