Section 4164.15 | Collaboration regarding commercializing advance-nuclear-reactor components.
The authority shall work with industrial and academic institutions and the United States department of energy or branches of the United States military for the commercialization of advanced-nuclear-reactor components, which may include any of the following:
(A) Advanced-nuclear-reactor-neutronics analysis and experimentation, including reactor, plant, shielding, nuclear data, source-program software, nuclear database, conceptual design, core and system design, certification in the phases, core-management and fuel-management technology, modeling, and calculation;
(B) Advanced-nuclear-reactor safety and plant safety, including reactor-system safety standards, accident-analysis software, and accident-management regulations;
(C) Advanced-nuclear-reactor fuels and materials, including long-life fuel, clad materials, structural materials, component materials, absorber materials, circuit materials, raw materials, fuels-and-materials research and development, testing programs used to develop fuels and materials-manufacturing processes, experimental data, formulae, technological processes, and facilities and equipment used to manufacture advanced-nuclear-reactor fuels and materials;
(D) Advanced-nuclear-reactor-nuclear-steam-supply systems and their associated components and equipment, including design standards, component, equipment, and systems design, thermal hydraulics, mechanics, and chemistry analysis;
(E) Advanced-nuclear-reactor engineered-safety features and their associated components, including design standards, component design, system design, and structural design;
(F) Advanced-nuclear-reactor building, including containment design, structural analysis, and architectural analysis;
(G) Advanced-nuclear-reactor instrumentation and control and application of computer science, including survey, monitor, control, and protection systems;
(H) Advanced-nuclear-reactor-quality practices, nondestructive-inspection practices, and in-service-inspection technology;
(I) Advanced-nuclear-reactor plant design and construction, debug, test-run, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning technology;
(J) Advanced-nuclear-reactor economic methodology and evaluation technology;
(K) Treatment, storage, recycling, and disposal technology for advanced-nuclear-reactor and system-spent fuel;
(L) Treatment, storage, and disposal technology for advanced-nuclear-reactor and system radioactive waste.
