Efforts to Improve Tracking and Oversight of Non-Billable Work in the Fuel Facilities Business Line Kevin Ramsey Division of Fuel Management Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards 26

Efforts to Improve Tracking and Oversight of Non-Billable Work in the Fuel Facilities Business Line

  • During public meetings in 2018, licensees learned that only a quarter of budgeted resources are recovered from direct services such as licensing actions and inspections.

The majority of budgeted resources were expended on non-billable services recovered

Background

through annual fees.

  • When licensees asked what services their annual fees funded, NRC was challenged to provide a detailed list of the non-billable projects and their associated costs.
  • On November 5, 2018, a memorandum was issued directing DFM staff to begin opening Enterprise Project Identifiers (EPIDs) for non-billable projects.
  • In December 2018, staff were tasked with performing a self-assessment on non-billable (NB) work in the Fuel Facilities Business Line.

Meeting

  • On April 15, 2019, a self-assessment report was issued with several recommendations to Information improve the tracking and oversight of NB resources.
  • Currently, reports of non-billable charges are reviewed each quarter by DFM management for progress on opening EPIDs and tracking NB work.
  • Developing computer tracking system for NB projects. This effort is ongoing.
  • Partner Offices briefed and provided guidance for NB projects.

Status of Exemptions from Reporting Unplanned Contamination Events Kevin Ramsey Division of Fuel Management Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards 30

Status of Exemptions from Reporting Unplanned Contamination Events Applications Received:

Background

  • Granting the exemption would reduce the level of transparency to the public of unplanned contamination events. An estimate of the resources saved is needed to make a finding Meeting that a reduced level of transparency is justified.

Information

  • A request for additional information was issued to each applicant in March 2020.
  • GNFA response was received April 16, 2020 - currently under review.
  • NFS and BWXT requested more time to respond.

NRC Fuel Cycle Activities for Accident Tolerant Fuel and Advanced Reactor Fuel

  • NRC staff continues to assess regulatory framework to identify challenges and/or data needs

- NRC Regulations in 10 CFR Part 70 are adequate for conducting reviews of licensing actions associated with new technologies for enrichment and fabrication of fuel at higher enrichments (HALEU 5%-

20% U235)

  • NRC staff continues to improve its processes and conducting risk informed and efficient reviews.
  • Applicants are encouraged to engage early to ensure a common understanding of the implications of these advanced fuels.
