Key Perspectives on Part 53

  • Part 53 not required to license advanced reactors Pathway through existing framework well understood Additional burden (e.g., exemptions) also understood
  • Future use of Part 53 - depends on reduction of burden Motivation to convert existing licensing basis to Part 53 New designs likely to select least burdensome pathway
  • Part 53 must remain voluntary
