This white paper was prepared by the Risk and Safety Working Group (RSWG), the Super-Critical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR) System Steering Committee (SSC), and the Generation IV International Forum (GIF). It provides an overview of activities conducted by participating members in the application of the Integrated Safety Assessment Methodology (ISAM) developed by the RSWG. Based on the application of the ISAM, the SCWR SSC has established future Research and Development (R&D) needs for the conceptual design of SCWR systems. Several areas that require additional R&D and analysis have been identified to improve risk and safety performance of SCWRs. This paper provides a summary of the identified areas for improvement.
