A summary of the NRC staff comments is provided below:
NSIR staff recommended clarifying the scope of NEI 18-11. Operating reactors are the only anticipated class of licensees that will participate in the voluntary program.
NSIR staff noted that Part 95.17 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) lists the requirement for a licensee to notify the NRC (as the cognizant security agency (CSA)) if there are significant changes that may affect its status concerning foreign ownership, control, or influence. The staff reminded NEI that the NRC, as the CSA, has the responsibility to evaluate changes, and that there are variables, such which country is involved, that may influence the significance of the change.
NRC staff provided some recommended changes to NEI 18-11 to reflect new policy and new NRC form (NRC form 405F) to identify key management personnel.
Attendees were reminded during the meeting that although their questions and comments were discussed with the staff, no policy decisions would be made at the meeting.
