David Crawley (Southern Nuclear), "SAFER: The U.S. Nuclear Industry’s Response to Natural Disasters" Abstract: Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) formed a task force to provide the agency with recommendations for regulatory improvements for the commercial U.S. nuclear fleet. As a result, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Order Enforcement Action EA 12-049 to all U.S. commercial nuclear licensees. The U.S. nuclear industry developed the FLEX strategy to fulfill the requirements as set forth in the NRC Order. FLEX is the “Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies” as described in NEI 12-06, a Nuclear Energy Institute document. The FLEX strategy further ensures that U.S. nuclear sites are prepared for Beyond Design Basis External Events (BDBEE), e.g., seismic events, hurricanes, floods, tidal waves, volcanic activity, etc.
