. where probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) results and insights have improved the existing regulatory system and specific areas in which PRA can have a positive impact on the regulatory l
system.
l Dr. Fontana stated that the Subcommittee had received no written comments or requests for J time to make oral statements from members of the public.
DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS NRC Staff Presentation Messrs. Thomas King, RES, and Gary Holahan, NRR, led the discussions for the NRC staff.
j They discussed the status of staff activities related to risk-informed regulation. Mr. Mark i
Cunningham and Ms. Mary Drouin, RES, provided supporting discussion. Mr. Frank Gillespie, i
NRR, discussed inspection and plant performance assessment. Mr. Bill Borchardt, NRR, discussed enforcement, and Mr. Steve Mays, AEOD, discussed programs for risk-based analysis of reactor operating experience. The staff discussed activities in the area of risk-i' informed regulation includmg:
Organizational changes to improve the NRC process for reviewing industry initiatives including the establishment of a Steering Committee for risk-informed regulation, creation of a Risk-informed Licensing Panel, etc.

NEl Presentation Mr. Biff Bradley of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) provided a brief discussion
. of industry perspectives regarding proposed regulatory improvements. He also discussed industry initiatives regarding these matters. Significant points made during the discussion include:
e Top industry priorities include 1) changes to the inspection, assessment, and l
. enforcement programs, 2) approval of risk-informed inservice inspection pilot
- applications, 3) approval of the NEl petition for rulemaking for changes to licensee quality assurance programs per 10 CFR 50.54(a), and proposed revisions to 10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR Part 50.
PRA has contributed significantly to licensee implementation of the maintenance rule i
and, in particular, on-line maintenance.

August 26,1998 Subcommittee Meeting SUBCOMMITTEE COMMENTS. CONCERNS. AND RECOMMENDATIONS Dr. Wallis questioned the efficiency of the staff review process. In particular, he questioned why risk-informed licensing submittals take longer that deterministic submittals. The staff stated that risk-informed licensee submittals were often more difficult and challenging. The staff added that they had limited experience in applying the tools for risk-informed decisionmaking (e.g., Regulatory Guide 1.174).
Dr. Apostolakis questioned why the staff is proposing to modify Part 50. He stated that revising Part 50 would be a major undertaking and questioned which areas would benefit from modification. The staff stated that discussions were ongoing with NEl to determine cost effective areas for change.
Dr. Apostolakis questioned the preliminary framework for revising 10 CFR 50.59. He expressed concem that measures related to the reactor core would dominate other metrics that might be considered. The staff acknowledged this concem and stated requested two Subcommittee meetings to explore options with the individual Members before recommending positions to NRR for consideration. The Subcommittee agreed to meet with the staff to discuss these matters.
STAFF AND INDUSTRY COMMITMENTS Dr. Apostolakis requested and the staff agreed to provide a copy of Enforcement Guidance Memorandum EGM 97-011, " Consideration of Risk in Enforcement Actions."
SUBCOMMITTEE DRCISIONS At the conclusion of the meeting, Dr. Apostolakis expressed appreciation for the staff's discussing its initiatives to meet the Commission's challenging near-term schedule. However, for the full ACRS meeting, he requested the staff to restrict their discussion to matters specific to the ACRS's need to respond to the April 20,1998 SRM. He requested the staff to provide a discussion or rationale describing how PRA or risk information contributed to the regulatory system rather than simply enumerating bullets. He and other Members noted the following areas for additional discussion:
V-Sequence Auxiliary feedwater analysis Emergency planning 10 mis zone Human reliability BWR Mark l containment Indian Point / Zion seismic and fire analysis FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS None.
