IEEE Standard 603-2018 Public Meeting Summary

The NRC published a summary of its public meeting held on September 18, 2024, regarding IEEE Standard 603-2018, which establishes criteria for safety systems in nuclear power generating stations. The meeting allowed NRC staff and industry stakeholders to discuss implementation experiences and technical interpretations of the standard.

Nuclear power plant operators and their engineering contractors should monitor for any follow-up NRC guidance or regulatory positions that may emerge from these discussions. The meeting summary does not create new compliance obligations but provides insight into how the NRC is approaching safety system standard interpretation in current regulatory oversight.
