Lessons Learned from U.S. Industry Engagement on Safeguards by Design
Since 2008, the National Nuclear Security Administration, through its Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI), has supported development of the safeguards by design (SBD) concept. In more recent years, NGSI has made efforts to move the concept of SBD from paper to standard industry practice through engagement with commercial nuclear industry. These partnerships between NGSI and domestic facility designers have represented a unique opportunity to assess and explore the safeguards implementation challenges that emerging reactor designs have the potential to pose. Thus far, partners have included NuScale Power, Babcock & Wilcox mPower, Westinghouse, and TerraPower. This paper reviews engagements with partners to-date, with an emphasis on approaches to engaging commercial industry on SBD and identifying lessons learned from these engagements.
