Title: Approach to Risk-Inform, Performance-Base Requirement for Nuclear Power Plants 
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.
