Building a Smarter Fuel Cycle Inspection Program Division of Fuel Management

Agenda

Disposition of feedback from Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and URENCO USA (UUSA)

Decision-making methodology

Proposed recommendation

Questions Note: The information included in this presentation is being shared in draft form so that stakeholders can see how their comments and proposals have been incorporated in the recommended changes to the inspection program.

2

Disposition of Stakeholder Feedback

Had significant number of stakeholder interactions

- Held 8 public meetings

Received comments from members of the public

Engaged in discussion with NEI and industry during the meetings

- Received multiple letters from NEI and UUSA

Addressed feedback throughout the process 3

Disposition of Stakeholder Feedback

Program specific considerations

- Overlaps and efficiencies in current Inspection Procedures (IPs)

Maintenance/Surveillance, Waste Management

- Resident Inspector Program

Benchmarking with Rector Oversight Program

Hours and functional areas inspected

- Risk insights and Maturity of Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA)

- Licensee Performance Review

- Flexibility - range of hours for IPs

- Corrective Action Program

- Public concerns with licensee self-oversight 4

Development of Proposed Recommendation 5

Development of Proposed Recommendation

Generic program considerations

- Review of historical changes to inspection program

- Review of compliance history

- Analysis of operating experience (OpE) and inspection data

- Insights gathered from inspectors and other subject mater experts

- Maturity of the licensees safety programs

- Diversity of the facilities by categories and diversity of facilities within the category 6

Development of Proposed Recommendation

Identification of Inspection Technical Areas

- Criticality Safety

- Operations/Chemical Safety

- Fire Safety

- Environmental

- Radiation Protection

- Transportation

- Emergency Preparedness

- Material Control and Accounting (MC&A) 7

Development of Proposed Recommendation

Qualitative factors used for ranking importance of technical areas as Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3

- Integrated Safety Analysis

Accident sequences and consequences for each area

- Operating Experience

- Regulatory Requirements

- Public Interest

- Engineering Judgement 8

Development of Proposed Recommendation

Note: Engineering Judgement and Public Interest were also factored 9

Accident Sequences Operating Experience Regulatory Requirements Criticality High High Medium Chemistry High High Low Fire Medium Medium Medium Environmental Low Low Low Radiation Protection Medium Low Low Transportation Low Low Medium Emergency Preparedeness Medium Medium Low Material Control &

Accounting N/A Medium High

Development of Proposed Recommendation Source: Fuel Cycle Annual Operating Experience Report 2018 (ADAMS No.

Development of Proposed Recommendation

Results of ranking 11 MC&A Tier 1/Tier 2 Technical Areas (Safeguards)

Criticality Safety Chemical Safety Fire Safety Emergency Preparedness Radiation Protection Transportation Environmental Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Technical Areas (Safety)

Development of Proposed Recommendation Tier 1

- Maintain high level of inspection effort

- Annual Frequency

- Benefit from team inspections Tier 2

- Maintain moderate level of inspection effort

- Biennial Frequency

- Benefit from team inspections Tier 3

- Maintain moderate level of inspection effort

- Triennial Frequency

- Included flexibility or range of hours Corrective Action Program

- Frequency changes for some Tier 2 and Tier 3 inspection areas 12

Inspection hours shown on proposal assumes use of minimum hours as core program. The use of range of hours will be dependent on inspection scope MC&A Observation not currently illustrated in Appendix B. (Hours used: 30 hours3.472222e-4 days 0.00833 hours 4.960317e-5 weeks 1.1415e-5 months , triennial)

Based on extensive stakeholder engagements, the WG identified the need to evaluate additional approaches informed by previous options and stakeholder feedback

Concerns about a new framework for inspections (predictability and implementation)

Public concerns about reduction in inspection hours and reliance on licensee self-oversight 18

Whats Next?

Finalize WG report documenting recommendations (November 2019)

Develop Plan for Phase 2 to incorporate recommendations into inspection program (October 2020)

- Updates to Inspection Manual Chapter

- Updates to IPs, Resident Inspector IPs Scope

- Look for efficiencies on preparation and documentation of inspection activities

Perform inspections using updated program (Calendar Year 2021) 19
