Title: Approach to Risk-Inform, Performance-Base Requirement for Nuclear Power Plants [NRC-2006-0008] 
Abstract: The advanced notice of proposed rulemaking would provide a new set of risk-informed, performance-based requirements for nuclear power plants. This advanced notice would create a new 10 CFR part 53 applicable to all reactor technologies, although it is primarily intended for advanced reactors. This action would create a more flexible licensing process for new reactor technologies, which would be more difficult to license under the LWR-focused 10 CFR part 50. The development of the proposed rule will take advantage of lessons learned from the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) and other advanced reactor reviews expected to begin in or around 2013.
