- R9.3.3. Coordination of testing, calibration and maintenance of on-site and off-site power supply systems and related components. - R9.3.4. Provisions to address mitigating actions needed to avoid violating NPIRs and to address periods w...
AI summary Requirements focus on coordination of testing, security, and communication protocols for nuclear plant interface requirements (NPIRs), including cyber and physical security, emergency response planning, and training. Provisions address mitigating violations, system restoration, and collaboration between nuclear operators and transmission entities.
E. Regional Differences The design basis for Canadian (CANDU) NPPs does not result in the same licensing requirements as U.S. NPPs. NRC design criteria specifies that in addition to emergency on-site electrical power, electrical power from...
AI summary The text highlights regional differences in nuclear power plant (NPP) licensing requirements between Canada and the U.S., noting that U.S. NRC regulations mandate grid power for safe shutdown during emergencies, while Canadian CANDU NPPs lack equivalent requirements for Station Blackout (SBO) or coping times. It defines NPLR as statutorily mandated safety requirements for nuclear plants during electrical disturbances.
