Draft IMC 0335 Development
- Currently, there is no 10 CFR 50.59 related IMC
- NRC WG spent the last 5 months drafting the IMC o Derived from review of several existing documents (e.g., NEI 96-07, existing Part 9900 Guidance, and Statements of Consideration for the rule) o Provides clear guidance to inspectors regarding use of PRA and risk insights in 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations
- E.g., in the 1999 Statement of Considerations, the Commission stated that the use of PRA (e.g., CDF and LERF alone) in 10 CFR 50.59 requires further rulemaking 3
