SUMMARY

OF JUNE 28, 2018, MEETING WITH SHINE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (EPID NO. L-2017-PMP-0014)

On June 28, 2018, a Category 1 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and representatives of SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc. (SHINE) at NRC Headquarters, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss topics related to the development of SHINEs operating license application for a medical radioisotope facility, including instrumentation and control (I&C), material control and accounting (MC&A) of special nuclear material (SNM), and design changes. This meeting served to inform NRC staff of the development status of key design and programmatic elements of SHINEs proposed medical radioisotope production project. Portions of this meeting were closed to public participation to discuss proprietary information related to SHINEs process vessel vent system and safety-related I&C design updates. The meeting notice and agenda, dated June 27, 2018, are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML18178A651. A list of meeting attendees is provided as an enclosure to this summary.

NRC staff opened the meeting at 8:30 a.m. with a summary of the status of its interactions with SHINE. SHINE has proposed to construct a medical radioisotope facility in Janesville, Wisconsin for the production of molybdenum-99. A construction permit was issued to SHINE on February 29, 2016, authorizing SHINE to construct eight accelerator-driven subcritical operating assemblies and one production facility for the irradiation and processing of SNM. As of this public meeting, the NRC expects SHINE to begin construction of its facility and submit an operating license application in the fall of 2018.

Following the NRCs opening remarks, SHINE presented and requested NRC staff feedback on its approach to the development of an MC&A plan for its proposed facility. As part of its presentation, SHINE described the preliminary stages of the development of an MC&A plan that meets the requirements of Subpart D of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)

Part 74, Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material. SHINE indicated that it is basing its MC&A plan on the draft guidance contained in NUREG-2159, Acceptable Standard Format and Content for the Material Control and Accounting Plan Required for Special Nuclear Material of Moderate Strategic Significance, issued in September 2013. SHINE intends to submit its MC&A plan as part of its operating license application.

In response to SHINEs MC&A presentation, NRC staff confirmed that meeting the requirements of Subpart D of 10 CFR Part 74 and following the draft guidance in NUREG-2159 are an acceptable approach to developing an MC&A plan for SHINEs proposed facility. However, the staff acknowledged that the current 10 CFR Part 74 requirements and draft guidance in

NUREG-2159 are likely to change with the expected publication of a final rule revising and consolidating the requirements for MC&A of SNM in 10 CFR Part 74 in 2019. Draft versions of documents the final rule package, including specific rule language and guidance revisions, will be made publicly available in the coming months following internal NRC concurrence.

During the portions of the meeting that was closed to the public, SHINE went into proprietary-level detail related to design updates and improvements to its process vessel vent system as well as safety-related I&C system. SHINE has selected Rock Creek Innovations (RCI) to design and build its I&C systems. RCI has designed the Highly Integrated Protection System (HIPS) platform, which has previously been selected by NuScale for its I&C systems.

The HIPS platform is logic-based and does not use software or microprocessors for operation.

The HIPS platform is implemented using discrete components and field programmable gate array technology to implement complex digital circuits that do not incorporate software for their operation. The HIPS platform incorporates several design principles for safety; including independence; redundancy; diversity and defense-in-depth; and predictability and repeatability.

Further details on the discussions had during this meeting are included in the presentation slides (ADAMS Accession No. ML18187A216).
