SUMMARY
OF THE NOVEMBER 5, 2015, PUBLIC MEETING WITH NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE TO DISCUSS THE DISCUSS NEI 14-09, GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF 10 CFR PART 21 REPORTING OF DEFECTS AND NONCOMPLIANCE.
On November 5, 2015, a Category 3 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). The NRC staff had previously issued a public meeting notice which included the meeting agenda documented in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under accession number ML15294A420.
The NRC staff conducted this meeting to discuss NEIs proposal to address concerns related to the results of the staffs initial review of NEI 14-09, Guidelines for Implementation of 10 CFR Part 21 Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance. The meeting discussion focused on the discovery section, software activities and best practices for nuclear vendors. Enclosure 1 provides a list of attendees. The meeting handout used during the discussion is located in ADAMS under accession number ML15303A106.
NEI presented different perspectives for NRC consideration on NEI 14-09. NEI revised Section 7, Discovery of an Issue Subject to 10 CFR Part 21, to align the discovery guidance with Appendix A, Evaluation and Notification Flowchart, and provide clarity between the discovery and evaluation phases. In addition, NEI included additional guidance for: 1) nuclear vendors and third-party dedicating entities; 2) record retention; 3) best practices to maintain open dialog between licensees and vendors on a potential Part 21 evaluation; 4) the purchaser taking 10 CFR Part 21 responsibility when dealing with overseas suppliers; and 5) the link between 10 CFR Part 21 and the corrective action program.
The NRC staff will review in detail the changes proposed by NEI. After the review, the NRC staff will inform NEI to submit Revision 1 of NEI 14-09, Guidelines for Implementation of 10 CFR Part 21 Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.
