Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards ACRS

Moreover, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS, 1999, pg. 2 see also ACRS, 2000) has noted that risk-informed regulation requires a strong research program. In particular, the ACRS (1999, pg. 3) was concerned about the adequacy of current risk assessment methods for dealing with fires software-based digital systems aging of structures, systems and components... human performance safety culture, and low-power and shutdown operations. ...

Figures AlO-2 and AlO-3, and Table AlO-l show three documents detailing the studies on the CRS. Figure A10-2 is reproduced from an article in Inside NRC, where the system was announced. Figure A10-3 contains the information which was given to CSNI in 1982. Table AlO-l is part of the US Advisory Committee for Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) answer to a communication containing the description of the system.
