RAMTAR Wiki Landing Page
Advanced Nuclear Technology: Risk Analysis Methods and Tools for Advanced Reactors (RAMTAR) EPRI-3002026495
Site Objective
Display EPRI’s assessment of the current level of readiness of risk analysis methods and tools to support Advanced Reactors design, licensing, construction, and operation. This is accomplished through building on EPRI’s support of the current nuclear fleet, conducting workshops that bring together entities such as advanced reactor developers and government regulators, as well as establishing short-term high-priority research topics.
Purpose of the Wiki
This wiki is intended to outline past, present, and future research for advanced reactors by describing a wide range of risk analysis methods and tools that are applicable to various reactor designs, as well as providing references regulations, guidance, and research projects.
Research Roadmap
This visualization of the Advanced Reactor Research Roadmap outlines prior, ongoing, and future planned research related activities. EPRI report 3002026495 was a key component in developing this roadmap. To view more details on ongoing research, please visit: RAMTAR Research

NEI and EPRI Collaboration
The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have come together to form a vision on how nuclear energy can be utilized to fulfill the rising demand of energy in the future. This vision includes an actionable approach based on minimizing risk while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of the regulatory process. Further information on this collaboration can be found in the NEI EPRI Advanced Reactor Roadmap document.
