SUBJECT:
DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL PROBLEM STATEMENT STATUS
Dear Mr. Marion:
Prior to the April 07, 2008 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) briefing on Digital Instrumentation and Controls (DI&C), the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) provided the NRC staff a spreadsheet containing the industrys understanding of the status of the problem statements included in the DI&C Project Plan. We appreciate the NEI providing this information as a foundation for continuing discussions on the status of problem statement resolution.
The NRC staff has prepared the enclosed status table for the problem statements. The last two columns of the table depict the industry and NRC understanding of the status, respectively.
Grey shading is used to indicate where the industry or NRC staff considers the problem statement closed or completed on an interim basis. From the NRC staffs perspective, an item is considered closed or completed if clear interim staff guidance that considered input from external stakeholders has been issued for use by the industry. The NRC staff recognizes that additional refinement of the guidance may be appropriate as the regulatory documents are drafted and finalized. Continued stakeholder input will be an important aspect of the completion of these updates.
The DI&C Steering Committee would like to discuss the problem statement status with the industry at the next public meeting, which is scheduled for May 22, 2008. If you have any questions, or want to discuss status prior to the meeting, please contact Stewart Bailey, Deputy Division Director for Digital Instrumentation and Controls, at 301-415-1321.
Sincerely,
/RA by MMayfield for/
