Subject:
NRR Office Instruction for RIDM Requested Action(s): Develop a new NRR Office Instruction (OI) on RIDM that will be the comprehensive repository for NRR-specific guidance on RIDM.

a) Develop guidance for inclusion in RIDM OI on how to distinguish between Type 1 and Type 2 LARs. Guidance should include information on appropriate construct of IRTs for each type of LAR, including associated responsibilities.
b) Develop guidance (RIDM Roadmap) for technical staff concerning use of risk principles, in particular for IRT Box 5, no [PRA] risk information used of the IRT process. Include a glossary of commonly used RIDM terms in an appropriate location to promote a common understanding of risk-insights and risk-information among the general population of technical reviewers.
Assigned to:
a) DRA b) DE Requested Completion Date: July 31, 2019 Desired Outcome of Ticket:
a) A common understanding of how to implement IRTs in the context of the revised RIDM Type 1 and Type 2 LARs.
b) Clarity on how to differentiate the use of risk information in traditional IRT Box 5 reviews from the Box 6-8 risk-based / risk-informed concepts Page 2 of 5 Ticket Number 3
Subject:
Training on NRR RIDM Office Instruction Requested Action: Complementary to the RIDM seminar(s) and iLearn Course 427162, develop training on the new NRR RIDM OI and the IRT process. All NRR staff will need training on the revised IRT process and the new ways to acceptably use risk in technical reviews.
Training methods should include the following:
a) Presentation of new process at division meetings, b) iLearn training, either in person or online, c) A desk reference, or d) Revision of NRR qualification programs, or e) Branch specific training.
Assigned to: DORL and DRA Requested Completion Date: June 30, 2019 Desired Outcome of Ticket: The staff understands the background and information necessary to successfully use the IRT process and new types of risk within safety evaluations.
Ticket Number 4
Subject:
RRPS Modifications Requested Action(s): Develop change requirements to implement IRTs in RRPS and obtain RRPS Configuration Control Board (CCB) approval. Modify RRPS to implement IRTs through its Configuration Control Board process. The modifications shall include:
a) Section 6.0, RRPS Changes, in Enclosure 2, Attachment 1, Integrated Review Team Process, in the June 26, 2018, memo (ADAMS Accession No. ML18169A205).
b) An identification of whether an IRT includes a risk analyst.
c) A milestone for technical Branch Chief to approve his/her staff input to an integrated SE.
d) A milestone for completion of an integrated SE outline.
Assigned to: DORL Requested Completion Date: March 15, 2019 Desired Outcome of Ticket: RRPS has the capability to incorporate recommendations from the RIDM Action Plan and this ticket enables the automatic application of the RIDM process, enforcing its use (when appropriate) across NRR.

Subject:
Update NUREG-0800 to Account for the Adoption of RIDM Requested Action(s): Develop a strategy and action plan to revise NUREG-0800 to:
a) Provide guidance on the scope and depth of licensing reviews considering risk insights b) Remove prohibitive language that inhibits the staff from using risk insights in their work Assigned to: NRO Requested Completion Date: March 31, 2019 Desired Outcome of Ticket: Enhanced clarity on how risk insights can be used across a broader spectrum of licensing reviews.
Ticket Number 6
Subject:
Update the Guidance and develop IRT approaches for Other Licensing Activities to Allow for Increased Use of Risk Insights Requested Action(s): Review and update guidance for other licensing activities, such as power uprates, backfits, TSTF travelers, generic communications, orders, topical reports, and TIAs to allow the use increased use of risk insights. Ensure that any prohibitive language inhibiting the staff from using risk insights is removed. Additionally, add sentence(s) pointing to NUREG-0800 guidance and the new RIDM OI regarding the use of risk insights.
In addition to reviewing the guidance for the licensing activities listed above, complete the following activities:
a) Update LIC-112, Power Uprate Process, and RS-001, Review Standard for Extended Power Uprates, to allow licensees to submit risk-informed submittals for power uprates.
Develop guidance for an IRT approach for power uprates to be attached to the new RIDM OI.
b) Develop guidance on using an IRT approach that includes risk analysts and backfit experts early in the backfit decision making process. The guidance will be attached to the new RIDM OI.
c) Develop guidance on using an IRT approach for generic communications to encourage staff involved in a technical issue to work with all of the affected organizations prior to entering the generic communications process. The guidance will be attached to the new RIDM OI.
d) Consider developing guidance for an IRT approach for complex TSTF travelers involving multiple divisions and branches. Consider extending the approach to have a consistent group of staff performing the generic TSTF traveler reviews and the plant-specific LARs that adopt the travelers. If guidance is developed, provide it to DORL for inclusion as an appendix in the new RIDM OI.
