The report contains the results of the NRC staff's evaluation of shutdown and low-power operations at commercial
nuclear power plants in the United States. The report describes studies conducted by the staff in the following
areas: operating, probabilistic risk assessment of shut-down and low-power conditions, and utility programs for
planning and conducting activities during periods the plant is shut down. The report also documents the staff's
evaluations of a number of technical issues regarding shutdown and low-power operations, including the principal
findings and conclusions. Potential new regulatory requirements are discussed , as are potential changes in NRC
programs. This is a final report. Comments on the draft version of the report are discussed in Appendix C of
