Abstract :
The authors discuss several concerns for reliability assurance of advanced reactor (AR) design encompassing reliability determination level of detail required in advanced reactor submittals, data for reliability assurance, systems interactions, and common cause effects, passive component reliability, PRA-based configuration control system, and inspection, training, maintenance, and test requirements. Suggested approaches are provided for addressing each of these topics
