February 21, 2019 MEMORANDUM TO: Dennis C. Morey, Chief Licensing Processes Branch Division of Licensing Projects Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM: Jonathan G. Rowley, Project Manager /RA/
Licensing Processes Branch Division of Licensing Projects Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF JANUARY 17, 2019, CLOSED MEETING WITH FRAMATOME INC. REGARDING STATUS OF ENHANCED ACCIDENT TOLERANT FUEL ACTIVITIES On January 17, 2019, a closed meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff, and Framatome Inc. (Framatome). During the meeting Framatome updated the NRC staff on its most recent enhanced accident tolerant fuel (ATF) activities.
During the introductory remarks, the NRC stated that the NRC plans to have a number of public meetings to inform the public about the NRC activities related to ATF. The NRC plans to issue an Interim Staff Guidance document related to chrome coated cladding ATF by the end of 2019.
The NRC plans regarding ATF will be presented at the 2019 Regulatory Information Conference.
Framatome began by discussing the improvements in reactor fuel anticipated as a result of its chromium coated cladding and chromia-doped pellet ATF. Framatome discuss its thoughts for what a topical report on each type of ATF would consist of and a schedule for submitting them.
Framatome discussed the fuel design process, design review tools, and design activities.
Attention was given to two design review tools: Failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) and design review board (DRB). Framatome also provided information about the lead test assemblies through the world which will be used to collect fuel irradiation data. Due to the time sensitive nature of all ATF activities in the U.S., an accelerated NRC review will be needed to support Framatomes desired deployment schedule. Ideas to complete the review of a topical report of this magnitude and complexity were discussed prior to the conclusion of the meeting.
The NRC staff indicated to Framatome that it will want to observe some of the chromium coated cladding tests. The NRC staff stated that the NRCs suite of analytical codes and methods used for scoping and confirmatory analyses need to be updated prior to topical report submittal to support efficient and effective technical reviews. Thus, the NRC needs chromium coated M5 properties as soon as they are available and detailed information on how data was collected so that the NRC can update these codes to support the aggressive schedule. The NRC agreed that the Framatome FMEA and DRB design activities are similar to the phenomena identification and ranking table (PIRT) process and look forward to engaging Framatome regarding the NRCs chrome coated PIRT report upon finalization in July 2019.
