Project Plan for Reviewing NEI 17-07 Project: Issue NRC acceptance letter for use of the new NEI peer-review guidance (NEI 17-07)
Key Assumptions:
Scope of the new NEI peer-review guidance will be limited to consolidating previous peer-review guidance documents into one document and including guidance (e.g.,
definitions, acceptance criteria) for conducting peer-review of newly developed methods.
o NRC staff will continue development of guidance on definitions such as newly-developed-methods and PRA upgrades with the Owners Groups.
NEI and industry will provide necessary resources to address staff comments and support the proposed schedule.
Industry will perform sufficient number of pilots (at least three, based on staff experiences for the development of Appendix X to NEI 12-13) using the new guidance to test all major elements of the new guidance within three months and will enable staff to observe pilots.
Risks:
Expansion of the above-mentioned scope, identification of new major technical issues, or divergence of expected resources to other high priority projects may affect timely completion of other tasks.
Relies on high quality and promptly responsive industry feedback from PRA experts with competing licensee priorities. Given recent response history, there is a medium likelihood of delay (without high priority at senior utility level).
Schedule:
Task Due Date Deliverable/
Process Responsible 1 Initial NRC review of guidance Completed 1 Transmittal of comments to NEI NRC 2
Clarifying NRC comments and achieve alignment December 3, 2018 -
January 25, 2019 2 Hold public a public meeting in Dec. and 2 public meetings in Jan. (as needed)
NRC, NEI 3
Incorporating NRC comments to NEI 17-07 February 15, 2019 Transmittal of revised guidance to NRC NEI 4
Finalizing the Owners Groups guidance for February 15, 2019 Workshop with Owners Groups in January 2019 NRC, Owners Groups 1 Additional comments may emerge during periodic discussions during December 2018 and January 2019. If that occurs, NRC staff will transmit them promptly, in writing, to NEI. Upon receiving those, NEI will inform NRC if those comments will affect their ability to provide the revised report to NRC by due date.
2 Plan on holding at least four Category 2 meetings\\conference calls.
2 November 20, 2018 reviewing newly developed methods Transmittal of guidance by Owners Groups Owners Groups 5 NRC review of the revised guidance March 8, 2019 Transmittal of any additional comments to NEI Hold a public meeting in March 2019, if necessary Initiate concurrence of acceptance letter NRC NRC, NEI, Owners Groups 6 Piloting the revised guidance March, April, May 3 Conduct at least 3 peer-reviews with NRC participation as observers Industry volunteers, NEI, NRC 7 Identifying lessons learned from pilots June 21, 2019 Transmittal of NRC comments to NEI Hold a public meeting in June 2019, if necessary NRC, NEI, Owners Groups 8
Incorporating final comments to NEI 17-07 July 8, 2019 Transmittal of final revision of NEI-17-07 to NRC NEI 9 NRC acceptance of the guidance July 31, 2019 Issuance of acceptance letter NRC 3 Based on prior experiences, significant pre-planning is necessary to conduct meaningful pilots. NRC anticipates that at least three pilot observations will be necessary to fully examine major elements of the guidance.
