6. POTENTIAL GAPS, NEEDS, CONCERNS
Achieving readiness – What does it mean and how do you know you’ve achieved it.
Development of Critical Performance Elements for demonstration of performance
Safety Management Programs
Treat nuclear projects differently than non-nuclear
For New Nuclear Projects, develop commissioning approaches at CD-3 and make it part of the package
Startup Plans and Plans-of-Action are needed earlier in the process for new nuclear construction projects
Site integration
