The ACRS, a group of highly experienced technical experts, advises the Commission, independently from the NRC staff, on safety issues related to the licensing and operation of nuclear power plants, health physics, and radiation protection.

Prior to joining the ACRS, Dimitrijevic worked as a technical consultant for AREVA, Inc.,

serving in a variety of technical leadership positions. In her role, she performed Probabilistic Risk Assessment studies for new reactor designs and certifications, including the AREVA U.S. evolutionary pressurized-water reactor and very-high temperature reactor. She has also provided leadership for more than 30 risk-informed PRA applications for various nuclear plants. Her work included the development of diverse PRA approaches, including risk-informed applications for Generation 3 nuclear power plants, Electric Power Research Institute Risk Informed Inservice Inspection methodology, and EPRI Internal Flooding and Early Fire PRA methods.

Dimitrijevic has authored or co-authored more than 20 journal publications and conference papers, including topics on applying probabilistic risk assessment, risk-informed inservice inspection methodology, and risk-informed decision making processes.
