10 CFR 50.69(g)
- (g) Reporting. The licensee shall submit a licensee event report under § 50.73(b) for any event or condition that prevented, or would have prevented, a RISC-1 or RISC-2 SSC from performing a safety significant function.

NUREG-1022, Rev. 3, Supplement 2, Event Report Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii) Final Report
Licensees reporting under 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73 for events involving design basis functions that are also associated with Risk-Informed Safety Class (RISC)-1 or RISC-2 structures, systems, and components (SSCs) for licensees that receive NRC authority to use 10 CFR 50.69, “Risk-informed categorization and treatment of structures, systems and components for nuclear power reactors,” are also required to report under 10 CFR 50.69(g) for events involving RISC-1 or RISC-2 SSCs that perform functions credited for beyond design basis mitigation. Reporting events involving RISC-1 or RISC-2 that perform credited beyond design basis functions is distinct from, and in addition to, events involving credited design basis functions for RISC-1 or RISC-2 SSCs. The criteria in 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(ii) do not apply to RISC-3 or RISC-4 SSCs for licensees that are authorized to use 10 CFR 50.69.

The inspector should review licensee event reports for the selected SSCs to verify the licensee is appropriately reporting equipment deficiencies and events consistent with the requirement of 10 CFR 50.69(g). For RISC-1 and -2 SSCs confirm the licensee is implementing reporting requirements not required by 10 CFR 50.69(g), i.e., 10 CFR part 21, 50.72, and 50.73 reporting requirements. Only RISC-3 and RISC-4 SSCs are excluded from 10 CFR part 21, 50.72, and 50.73 reporting requirements.
Title 10 CFR 50.69(g) provides a new reporting requirement applicable to events or conditions that prevented, or would have prevented, a RISC-1 or RISC-2 SSC from performing a safety significant function. Most events involving these SSCs will meet existing 10 CFR 50.72 and 73 reporting criteria. However, it is possible for events and conditions to arise that impact whether RISC-1 or RISC-2 SSCs would perform beyond design-basis functions consistent with the performance capability credited in the categorization process.
