Finding Mitigation / Safety Significance Determination

Red Wolf Associates can assist in navigating the NRC's safety significance determination process. Whether your issue requires manual calculations, detailed modeling, research of applicable literature, or some combination of these, we can help you produce the best possible argument for reducing the finding level of an apparent violation. RWA can benchmark computer codes such as GOTHIC to experimental or historical data to provide best-estimate room heat up or HVAC analyses, best-estimate containment analyses, steady-state or transient piping analyses to support inventory delivery, NPSH requirements, water hammer transients, and many other analyses. Our past work has resulted in event notification retractions and finding reclassifications. Please contact us with details of your current issue to find out how we can help you.
