Pathway to New Regulatory Framework
- Part 53
- NEIMA required rulemaking to establish a technology-inclusive, risk-informed and performance based regulatory framework
- Rulemaking Plan Issued in April 2020 - SECY-20-0032
- Builds on current activities including the Licensing Modernization Project
- Significant stakeholder engagement planned 9
Modernizing the Environmental Review 10
ExecutingIntegrated Strategies for Review Near-Term Approach Reviews
- OKLO Aurora COL application docketed
- Preapplication reviews underway
- Meetings/White papers/Topical reports
- Timely and effective reviews
- Core review team
- Integrated safety review to reach reasonable assurance of adequate protection finding
- Exemptions where appropriate for non-LWR technologies
- Guidance available
- Advanced Reactor Design Criteria (RG 1.232)
- Licensing Modernization Project (RG 1.233)
- ISG for environmental review
- Key policy issues resolved
- Functional containment
- Risk-informed event selection
- SSC classification
- Defense-in-depth 11
Pre-Application Engagement is Encouraged
- Regulatory Review Roadmap
- Encourages early engagement with NRC
- Stresses use of Regulatory Engagement Plans
- Interact in meetings or in review of white papers, technical reports, topical reports, etc.
- Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2017-08
- Request pre-application and application plans
- Robust pre-application engagement program
- May lead to shorter and more predictable review schedules 12 20
