SUBJECT:
C0HSECY 96 059: REACTC'l LICENSING FOR FUTURE APPLICANTS -
DSI 10 After a review of Phase II of the Stakeholder Interaction Report and after listening to the Steering Committee briefing 'on January 13. I support the Commission's preliminary views on this DSI except for revision of the first item of implementation guidance relative to the issue of maintenance of the URD. The final Commission position is recommended to be revised as follows:
The NRC recognizes _that fundamental economic decisions by license applicants "
will determine the level of necessary support. The NRC should continue to give priority for reviewing standard and advanced reactor designs,- early site approvals, and licensing for new reactor license applicants (Option 2 with elements of Option 1).
The staff should develop implementation guidance for the following:
1). The NRCisho'uld follow developments with regard to industry's~ future interest 11n Addre:S miintenance Of the Utility Requirements Document and the'~ certified designs through first-of a kind engineering and should retpond appropriately. Provide ,Aan for support of tM: proccc to the extent t..at, : a rinimum. Sig. ificant issue; arc addcccccd cad resulution path cre provided in order to continue adequate support of the certificd designs.
- 2) Address orderly closecut of all activities. Document to the greatest extent practicable the work performed such that its value for future technical and regulatory activities is not lost (e.g. SBWR, MHTGR, etc.).
- 3) Evaluate the design certification process following completion of current applications for lesson learned.
