SUBJECT:
SUMMARY OF A CATEGORY 3 PUBLIC MEETING HELD WITH
EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
DISCUSSION ON DRAFT REGULATORY ISSUE SUMMARY 2002-22,
SUPPLEMENT 1, CLARIFICATION ON ENDORSEMENT OF
NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE GUIDANCE IN DESIGNING DIGITAL
UPGRADES INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
On March 14, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a Category 3
public meeting with external stakeholders in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting
was to discuss draft Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2002-22, Supplement 1, Clarification on
Endorsement of Nuclear Energy Institute Guidance in Designing Digital Upgrades in
Instrumentation and Control Systems, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18051A084).
Background
On January 23, 2018, the NRC staff held a Category 3 public meeting on the subject document.
The meeting summary, meeting transcript, list of attendees, the January 2018 version of the
draft RIS 2002-22, Supplement 1 and presentation slides can be found under ADAMS
Accession No. ML18079A414. As a result of this meeting, the NRC staff received informal
comments from the Nuclear Energy Institute (ADAMS Accession No. ML18057B126) and Mr.
Ken Scarola (ADAMS Accession No. ML18054A010). Although not considered as formal
comments, the NRC staff reviewed each submittal and where applicable, made revision to the
RIS 2002-22, Supplement 1. On March 6, 2018, the staff met with external stakeholders to
discuss changes made to the draft RIS 2002-22, Supplement 1 since the document was last
made publically available to support the January 23, 2018 Category 3 public meeting.
