BILLING CODE 7515-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2019-0155]

Reactor Oversight Process Enhancement Initiative AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

SUMMARY

In an effort to revise and improve the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff recently proposed targeted, near-term ROP enhancements to the Commission, described in SECY-19-0067, Recommendations for Enhancing the Reactor Oversight Process, dated June 28, 2019. The NRC staff is currently evaluating possible long-term ROP enhancements in the following areas:

the problem identification and resolution inspection program, the cross-cutting issues process, radiation protection inspection procedures, the inspection program for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSI),

and the Significance Determination Process (SDP), particularly for the emergency preparedness cornerstone.

The NRC is soliciting comments from the public on potential improvements in these areas, along with other areas of the ROP. Any comments received on SECY-19-0067 will be forwarded to the Commission for its consideration.

DATES: Comments should be filed no later than October 7, 2019. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:

II. Discussion The ROP is the program that provides oversight and assessment of operating U.S. nuclear power plants. In 2018, the NRC staff solicited input from both NRC staff and external stakeholders on ways to improve the ROP. The NRC held numerous public meetings to discuss the disposition of this stakeholder feedback, resulting in several staff recommendations for Commission approval, described in SECY-19-0067, Recommendations for Enhancing the Reactor Oversight Process, dated June 28, 2019 ADAMS Package Accession No. ML19070A036. Documents, presentations, and meeting summaries associated with the development of this paper are listed on the ROP Enhancement public web page.

As described in SECY-19-0067, the NRC staff completed a comprehensive review of every core safety inspection procedure to determine if current sample requirements and resource estimates were appropriate. Of the 16 reactor safety inspection procedures, the staff recommended reducing minimum sample sizes in five inspection procedures, increasing the minimum sample size in one inspection procedure, consolidating two different inspection procedures into one procedure, and revising the frequency of one inspection from biennial to triennial. The NRC staff also initially considered an industry recommendation to credit licensee self-assessments in lieu of some safety inspections; however, the NRC is no longer considering this recommendation.

The NRC is currently working on long-term recommendations to enhance the ROP in the following areas: The problem identification and resolution inspection program, the cross-cutting issues process, radiation protection inspection procedures, ISFSI inspections, and the SDP, particularly for the emergency preparedness cornerstone.

The NRC is soliciting public comment on these long-term ROP enhancement efforts, the broad range of ROP topics described in SECY-19-0067, and any other areas of the ROP that the staff should consider under this initiative.

Specifically, the NRC staff is seeking public comment on the following questions:

1. What areas of the ROP are working well?
2. What areas of the ROP are not working well?
3. How can the NRC improve the ROP in the following areas: The problem identification and resolution inspection program, the cross-cutting issues process, radiation protection inspections, ISFSI inspections, and the SDP?

The public comment period is scheduled to close on October 7, 2019.

Any comments received on SECY 0067 will be forwarded to the Commission for its consideration.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of August, 2019.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Christopher G. Miller, Director, Division of Inspection and Regional Support, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
