The RSK agreed to the amendments, the revised basic recommendations will be published after adoption by the SSK.

The RSK was informed about the contents and and the basic structure of the statement on neutron flux oscillations, deformations of fuel assemblies, damage to cladding tubes, spacers, hold-down springs and alignment pins by the ad hoc working group on fuel assemblies (Ad-hoc AG BRENNELEMENTE (BE)).
