Boiling water reactors (BWRs) use light water as a coolant and a moderator. This water is converted to steam in the core and then passes through a turbine.

Digital instrumentation and control equipment (DI&C) transmits information in ones and zeros, and provides a number of advantages in nuclear safety.

New reactors are light-water reactors that are in the design or construction phases. Advanced reactors refers to reactors under consideration that are cooled by fluids other than water.

Codes and standards are technical positions that govern specific activities such as welding, fabrication, testing and non-destructive examination, and are crucial to nuclear safety operations.

Inspection practices are the means by which a regulatory body verifies that a holder of a nuclear licence is complying with the conditions of that licence.  

Operating experience is the collection and dissemination of knowledge gained via the operation of nuclear facilities.

The Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA), at its June 2006 meeting, agreed to form a Senior-level Expert Group to produce a report called "The Regulatory Goal of Assuring Nuclear Safety"...

The main objective of the NEA Working Group on Operating Experience (WGOE) is to improve nuclear safety by sharing operating experience and knowledge.
