UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 6, 2018 Dr. Michael Corradini, Chairman Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
SUBJECT:
ACRS ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF SELECTED NRC RESEARCH PROJECTS - FY 2018
Dear Mr. Corradini:
Thank you for the Committees recent letter dated January 28, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18022A054), transmitting the report entitled, ACRS Assessment of the Quality of Selected NRC Research Projects - FY 2017. This annual report assists the NRC staff in evaluating the quality and usefulness of selected programs to support licensing and related regulatory functions of the agency.
The purpose of this letter is to provide a list of NRC research projects for ACRS consideration and review during FY 2018. The list below provides documents containing research published over the past year; we excluded NUREGs developed under international agreements and those that contain research that support a specific licensing review. You will note that this list is more comprehensive than in previous years to provide the Committee more products to choose from and to represent a more complete range of our research.
NUREG-1855 Guidance on the Treatment of Uncertainties Associated with PRAs in (Revision 1) Risk-Informed Decision Making A Risk-Informed Approach to Understanding Human Error in Radiation NUREG-2170 Therapy NUREG-2206 Technical Basis for the Containment Protection and Release Reduction (Pending Rulemaking for Boiling Water Reactors with Mark I and Mark II Publication) Containments NUREG-2213 Updated Implementation Guidelines for Senior Seismic Hazard (Pending Analysis Committee (SSHAC) Hazard Studies Publication)
