Suggestions for 10 CFR 52 Lessons Learned Rulemaking - January 2019 Regulation Comment/Basis Recommendation
- 1. 10 CFR 52 Changes during construction and construction to licensing Modify NRC interpretation to allow at-risk construction pending basis challenges are created by NRC's position that as soon approval of an LAR or the processing of a 50.59-like change.

Changes at risk would need to be subject to impact to the health and safety of the public. configuration control to ensure that if the LAR is not approved or the licensee does not or cannot process a 50.59-like change, the ITAAC verification and construction oversight via licensee programs (e.g., quality control), as well as implementation change at risk will be reversed in the field.
of operational programs, ensure that the facility has been constructed and will operate in accordance with its license.
Restrictions should be removed thus allowing temporary deviation from the approved licensing basis during construction where configuration control, corrective measures or license amendments are implemented that restore conformance of the plant with its licensing basis. 10 CFR 52 when created was intended to ensure better control over standardization. The unintended consequence of hindering construction was not fully understood at that time.
- 2. 10 CFR 52, 10 CFR 52.39(e) requires that a license amendment be NRC should establish a 10 CFR 50.59-like change process for Subpart A, submitted to change the SSAR. The experience of the first ESPs and LWAs.
ESP licensees under 10 CFR 52 demonstrates a need for a change process for ESPs and LWAs. 10 CFR 52.39(e)
