Recommendation 19

19

Restate waste heat consideration requirements in technology-specific terms within EN-7 or guidance.

Recommendation
The requirement in the generic EN-1 NPS for applicants to consider the use of waste heat should be restated in more technology-specific terms within EN-7 or the accompanying guidance. This could better support applicants seeking to make productive use of nuclear-generated heat. (Recommendation, Paragraph 66) 27
