SUMMARY

OF NOVEMBER 21, 2019, PARTIALLY CLOSED PUBLIC MEETING WITH HOLTEC INTERNATIONAL TO DISCUSS PRE-APPLICATION OF THERMAL TOPICAL REPORT On November 21, 2019, a Category 1 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Holtec International (Holtec, the applicant). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Holtecs plans for submittal of a Thermal Topical Report for allowance of candidate heat load patterns without an amendment request. The meeting notice and agenda, dated November 6, 2019, are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML19310F050. During the meeting, the applicant presented slides, which are available at ADAMS Accession No. ML19309F686. In addition, NRC staff presented an overview of the Topical Report review process, which is available at ADAMS Accession No. ML19324G370. The enclosure to this document contains the meeting attendance list.

The applicant discussed how they plan to propose a suitable methodology permitting licensee qualification of candidate heat load patterns without the need for a license or certificate of compliance amendment. It is the applicants intent that the Thermal Topical Report would receive NRC approval, and that the approved methodology would allow Holtec, and its clients, to address emerging plant needs in a timely manner. The applicant stated that an approved Thermal Topical Report would prevent future undue engagement of regulatory resources by requiring fewer amendment submissions, and that some previous amendment applications would have essentially not been needed if the approved methodology was already in place.

CONTACT: Christian Jacobs, NMSS/DFM 301-415-6825

No regulatory decisions were made during the meeting. No members of the public attended the meeting or asked questions during the Questions & Answers session. The applicant is planning to submit a Thermal Topical Report for NRC review and approval in early 2020.
