Reactor Cavity Decontamination
Sourcebook
. Product ID: 3002005479.
Published November, 2015.
A variety of factors impact the
optimized management of a nuclear
power plant’s post-refueling reactor
cavity decontamination program. The
absence of an acceptable, comprehensive
methodology for evaluating and
coordinating that program continues to
pose a challenge to program managers.
There are several benefits of a structured
cavity
decontamination
program,
including dose reduction, low-level waste
cost optimization, and potential critical
path time savings. This document outlines
a generic method for systematically
evaluating and identifying improvements
to reactor cavity decontamination
strategies.

Program on Technology Innovation:
Analysis of Hazard Models for
Cyber Security, Phase I
. Product ID:
3002004995. Published November, 2015.
U.S. nuclear power licensees
currently identify critical digital assets
and apply cyber security controls using
a variety of regulatory commitments and
expert opinions. As a result, licensees
have adopted strategies that may result
in the selection of controls that are not
aligned with real cyber risk. For example,
a nuclear plant might not identify a
non-safety digital controller as a critical
cyber security digital asset, even though
this controller, if compromised, could
potentially trip the plant. Conversely,
a plant might devote an unwarranted
amount of resources to applying or
justifying cyber security controls for an
isolated safety-related system with low
risk significance. This report documents
research that is identifying and developing
methods to accurately determine cyber
risks at nuclear facilities. Specifically,
this product identifies hazard analysis
methods that will lay the foundation for
an enhanced cyber risk methodology.

Advanced Nuclear Technology:

Self-Consolidating
Concrete Mixtures and Structural
Members - Phase 1.
Product ID:
3002005228. Published December, 2015.
This technical update report provides
a compilation of data collected for self-
consolidating concrete mixtures and
includes a comparison of plastic and
hardened properties of self-consolidating
concrete with conventional concrete
mixtures. This report accounts for only
the first phase of this project, with phase 2
scheduled to begin in 2016.

2015 Underground Piping and Tank

Published December, 2015.
The Buried Piping Integrity Initiative
was approved by the Nuclear Strategic
Issues Advisory Committee (NSIAC)
in November 2009. The original scope
was limited to piping that was below
grade and in direct contact with the soil
