NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 10 CFR PART 50 RULE TO REQUIRE APPLICANTS TO EVALUATE DIFFERENCES FROM THE STANDARD REVIEW ~ PLAN AGENCY:

Nuclear Regulatory Commission ACTION:

Proposed Rule.

SUMMARY

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuing a rule that would require future applicants for operating licenses, construction permits, manufacturing licenses, and preliminary or final design approvals for standard plants to identify and evaluate differences from the acceptance criteria of t'he applicable revision.of the' Standard Review Plan (SRP) as part of the technical information to be submitted as part of an application. The SRP was originally issued in 1975 as NUREG-75/087; it describes an acceptable basis and criteria for conclusions presented in a staff Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for an application. The most recent revision td the SRP was issued in September 1981.

The purpose of this rule is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of NRC safety reviews.

DATES:

Comment period expires (30 days after publication).

Comments received after that time will be considered if it is practical to do so, but assurance of their consideration cannot be given.

ADDRESSES: All interested persons who wish to submit comments or suggestions in connection with the proposed amendments should send them to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, Attention:

Docketing and Service Branch.

Copies of comments received may be examined in the

e..-

i j

Commission's Public Document Room at 1717 H. Street, N.W., Washing ~ ton, D.C. 20555.

.~ e FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert L. Tedesco, Assistant Director for Licensing, Division of Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555 (301) 492-7425.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On October 9,1980, the NRC Published in the c

FEDERAL REGISTER [45'FR 67099] a Notice of Prop 6 sed Rulemaking that would require all commercial nuclear power plant licensees and applicants to document and evaluate differences from the Standard Review Plan (SRP). Interested persons were invited 24, 1980.

to submit written comments to the Secretary of the Commission by November

~"

i.-

After consideration of the comments and other Numerous comments were received.

if 7.;;j factors involved, the Commission is considering issuance of a revised rule that would limit the applicability of the requirements to nuclear power plant applications docketed. after the effective date of the rule.

The majority of the comments on the proposec rule (1) questioned the time permitted to comply with the requirements of the rule in consideration of the significant short-term impact on engineering resources, (2) questioned the. applicability of.

the requirements to operating reactors, and (3) questioned why pending applications for coristruction permits should be subject to significantly different documentation requiiements that similarly situated pending applications for operating licenses.

4e

d 1

~

I To allow further considerition of'these" comments;'the%mmission has decided'to exclude operating reactors and pending applications'for operating licenses from the requirements of the proposed rule, at this time. The pending operating license applicants have proceeded far enough in the licensing process that the applicati~on of the rule at this time could delay Ticensing decisions.

Further, excluding the operating reactors and pending operating license applicants would significantly reduce the impact on available short-term engineering resources.

In addition, the Commission has decided to exclude pending applications for construction permits and manufacturing licenses docketed prior to the effective date of the rule, since the evaluation

' required of these applications could add significantly to the length of their licensing process while the evaluation could be performed later at the. operating

~

license review stage without this disadvantage. The Commission is also clarifying that the requirements of the rule are explicitly applicable to new applications for preliminary and final design approvals of standard plants and the applicants for these approvals must evaluate their application against the SRP.

In the earlier proposed rule, such requirements for standard plant applicaticns were implicit in that it was proposed to include all CP and OL applications (including those. referencing standard plants) within the scope of the rule.

The Commission has decided that the requirements for standard plants should be explicit to-avoid ariy misunderstanding on this point.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT REVIEW:

The proposed rule will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for clearance of the application requirements as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (P.O.96-511). The SFF-83, " Request for Clearance," Supporting Statement, and related documentation submitted' to 0MB will

7

. be available for public inspection and copying in 'the NRC Public D'ocument Room at 1717 H. Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20555.

Pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act'of 1954, as amended, the' Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, and Section 552 and 553, Title 5 of the United States Code, the following proposed rule is published subject to codification.

shall include an evaluation of the facility against the Standard Review Plan (SRP) in effect on [ effective date of this amendment]

or the SRP revision in effect six months prior to-the. docket date of the application, whichever is later.

(1)(b) Applications for light water cooled nuclear power plant construction permits, manufacturing licenses, and preliminary or final design approvals for standard plants do_cketed after [ effective date of this amendment] shall include an evaluation. of the facility against the SRP in effect on [ effective date of the rule] or the SRP revision in effect six months prior to the docket date of the application, whichever is later.

(2)

The evaluation required by this section shall include an identification and description of all differences in design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for a facility and those corresponding features, techniques, and measures given in l

the SRP acceptance criteria. Where such a difference exists,'the evaluation shall discuss how the alternative proposed provides an acceptable method of complying with those rules or regulations of

' - s 6:-

Commission, or portions thereof, that u.nderlie the corresponding SRP acceptance criteria.
