ISFSI Inspection Enhancement Implementation Status Project Status as of 8/28/2020
Background:
Starting in June 2019, a working group was formed as part of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Inspection Program Enhancements Initiative to evaluate and enhance the NRCs existing ISFSI inspection program by developing a clearer, more risk-informed, comprehensive, and consistent approach to ISFSI inspections across the four regions that focuses on those areas most important to safety. The working group used probabilistic risk analyses, byproduct material radiation exposure studies, subject matter expertise, operating experience, and lessons learned from the last 30 years of ISFSI inspection history to inform the recommended revisions to the program.
The final report of the working groups recommendations was completed and made publicly available on March 18, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20078P093). The Director of the Division of Fuel Management (DFM) approved the working groups recommendations in full considering the final recommendations report and all feedback received. Public issuance of the final decision memo (ADAMS Accession No. ML20079E064) was on May 6, 2020.
Objective:
To provide a status update on NRC staffs efforts to issue a new ISFSI inspection program technical basis document Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2691, and revise IMC 2690 and 6 associated Inspection Procedures.
