TOPICS FOR PUBLIC WORKSHOP ON PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE THE CODE UPDATE REQUIREMENT FOR INSERVICE INSPECTION AND TESTING PROGRAMS AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS The public workshop will include discussion of the following topics related to the proposal to eliminate the requirement for nuclear power plant licensees to update their inservice inspection (ISI) and inservice testing (IST) programs to later ASME Code editions and addenda every 120 months as required in 10 CFR 50.55a. In particular, the NRC staff is interested in obtaining views on the proposed rule's impact related to:
Potential effect on safetv, including potential reductions in the effectiveness of a
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants; Selection of the proper baseline edition and addenda of the ASME Codes in terms of safety, resources, and efficiency; I
Regulatory benefits (or hardships) to I;censees, industry suppliers (including vendors), nuclear insurers, States, standards organizations, and others; Reduction in burden on licensees to not update their ISI and IST programs and related procedures; Potential effect on the reduction in number of licensee submittals (e.g., relief requests) associated with ISI and IST programs; Consistency in the range of ASME Code editions and addenda that will be applied by licensees; Potential effect on risk-informed ISI and IST initiatives; Potential offect on States and other organizations that rely on the ASME Code in their interactions with nuclear power plant owners; Application of portions of the ASME Codes incorporated by reference in the regulations subsequent to the baseline edition; and Clarity of the supplement to the proposed rule.
