Industry Seeks NRC Approval of Used Fuel Pool Instrumentation Guidance

Industry Seeks NRC Approval of Used Fuel Pool Instrumentation Guidance

The following news article originally appeared in NEI’s Nuclear Energy Overview.
The industry has submitted for NRC endorsement revised guidance for implementing the agency’s post-Fukushima order to install additional used fuel storage pool instrumentation.
The revision clarifies several points based on NRC staff comments on the initial version, which was submitted in July. In its submission, the industry reiterates its position, in line with the commission’s direction, that installing commercial-quality instruments—combined with a training and testing program to maintain their reliability—will fully comply with the order.http://safetyfirst.nei.org/industry-actions/industry-seeks-nrc-approval-of-used-fuel-pool-instrumentation-guidance/
