SUMMARY
OF MEETING BETWEEN U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFF AND BWOG REPRESENTATIVES TO DISCUSS THE BWOG GENERIC LICENSE RENEWAL PROGRAM (MAY 11, 1993)
On May 11, 1993, representatives from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives from the BWOG Generic License Renewal Program (GLRP) met in Rockville, Maryland, to discuss the status of the BWOG GLRP. is the list of meeting attendees. contains a copy of the presentation material discussed at the meeting.
Mr. McConnell, the Program Director for the BWOG GLRP, presented an executive overview on the status of the GLRP. Mr. McConnell indicated that the BWOG l
integrated I ant assessment (IPA) approach appears to be supported by other industry groups and may be adopted as a baseline for development of the Westinghouse Owners Group and Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) Owners Group IPA methodology.
He also indicated the preparation of BWOG GLRP reports appeared to be on schedule.
Mr. Newberry, the Director of the License Renewal and Environmental Review Project Directorate, provided an overview of SECY-93-113, " Additional implementation Information for 10 CFR Part 54, ' Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants."
In his discussions, Mr. Newberry highlighted areas where the staff has proposed additional flexibility in implementing the license renewal rule.
In response to several questions from BWOG representatives, Dr. Travers, the Deputy Associate Director for Advanced Reactors and License Renewal, noted that the proposed BWOG IPA approach was inconsistent with the staff's proposed approach in SECY-93-ll3.
Specifically, the BWOG proposed IPA approach likely would, after determining that existing programs adequately managed age-related degradations throughout the renewal period, eliminate systems, structures, and components (SSCs) from further consideration in the license renewal process by concluding that these SSCs are not subject to age-related degradation unique to license renewal (ARDUTLR).
The staff also noted that the proposed BWOG IPA approach did not appear to meet the intent of the current license renewal rule.
An applicant for license renewal can screen out SSCs as not subject to ARDUTLR under criteria associated with 10 CFR 54.21(a)(3) after the applicant determines that all appropriate age-related degradations for that SSC, if allowed to proceed unmitigated by process or programs throughout the renewal period, would not I
result in a condition outside the current licensing basis.

existing programs in the staff's proposed approach is realized further in the IPA process at the effective programs evaluation (54.21(a)(5)) and not used to screen SSCs as not subject to ARDUTLR.
BWOG representatives and the i4RC staff agreed that the technical arguments needed to justify the disposition of an SSC in the IPA process would be of sir.ilar scope regardless of the approach used.
BWOG representatives indicated that they believed dispositioning SSCs at the 54.21(a)(3) screening step and making the corresponding finding of whether a SSC was subject to ARDUTLR significantly reduced potential litigious risk. The staff noted that it believed that the litigious risk was no different at the (a)(3) step than at the (a)(5) step of the IPA.
The staff and BWOG representatives discussed the staff's request for additional information (RAI) dated April 2, 1993, regarding the BWOG submittal entitled " Integrated Plant Assessment -- System / Structure Screening Methodology." The staff clarified its intent and answered several questions regarding the RAls.
From these discussions, the staff and BWOG representatives determined that the treatment of process variables in the screening methodologies would require additional clarification.
The staff informed BWOG representatives that the Commission denied their request for a fee exemption for the costs associated with the review of BWOG GLRP documents.
