RE: Draft UNR I know it will be part of the SLR UNR, but I think it would still be good to at least allude to it here for internals and particularly CASS components. There will be a new RPV user need and they've talked about adding something in on harvesting related to vessel materials. Just a thought. .....

RE: Draft UNR

Rob, Harvesting will be part of the new UNR on SLR we expect from DLR soon. Should specific harvesting related sub-tasks be moved to this UNR?

RE: Draft UNR Matt/Sri So, I've only skimmed the tasks quickly but here are my observations and questions:

1. It looks like the tasks are generally consistent with and align with the priorities and topics that were discussed in the winter.

2. I'm glad to see that they call out the various Zorita projects by name in task 2. I think this gives those projects some increased weight.

3. I'm also glad they added a task for us to review the IASCC disposition curve technical basis. We weren't part of that effort and I've been itching to see if what industry's done is appropriate.

4. By biggest disappointment is that I didn't see anything on harvesting at all. It would be good if they at least indicated that we should pursue opportunities as they present themselves or something similar. Why isn't something like this in here?

5. Is there anything else that has not been included that we think should be?

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Motivation:

There are increasing opportunities to harvest the safety-critical components from decommissioning plants, both domestic and international.

The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.

Data from ex-plant materials should help address technical gaps identified for extended operation of nuclear power plants due to highly relevant aging conditions.

Purpose and Objective:

For NRG staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated.

Workshop Topics:

Harvesting decision-making and prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting

Sources of materials:

o Decommissio ning reactors o Operating reactors - replaced components o Previous harvesting programs - "boneyards" o Tracking available materials

Harvesting process o Lessons learned from harvesting experience o Perspective of utility-owner and decommissioning contractor on harvesting o Communication and coordination between decommissioning and researchers Workshop Approach:

Each session will consist of solicited presentations followed by lengthy discussion and Q&A period.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O.C. 20555-0001 January 25, 2018 MEMORANDUM TO: Transformation Team_ / : .

FROM: Victor M. McCree ~ ~. i1 / i ~

Executive Director for Operations f

SUBJECT:

FORMATION OF NRC TRANSFORMATION TEAM In my January 4, 2018 message on Innovation and Transformation at the NRG, I indicated that success in fulfilling our safety and security mission is enabled by the NRC Principles of Good Regulation. Our principles help to guide us in making decisions to ensure safety and security, while appropriately considering the interests of NRC stakeholders. The principles have also inspired and supported our decisions to implement a number of innovative changes that improved the effectiveness and efficiency of NRC's regulatory infrastructure. The ability to proactively innovate, along with our commitment to continuous improvement, are essential qualities that will facilitate our long term success in ensuring the safe and secure use of nuclear materials in the 2P1 century.

However, the nuclear industry has indicated plans to introduce new and novel technologies, such as accident tolerant fuel , small modular reactors, and advanced non-light water reactor designs. Because the use of such new nuclear technologies would challenge our current regulatory framework, we must not only innovate, but also identify and implement transformative change. Transformation of our regulatory infrastructure will be evidenced by significantly different ways to regulate and marked enhancements in our effectiveness, efficiency and agility as we fulfill our mission.

Accordingly, the purpose of this memorandum is to form a Transformation Team to identify potential transformative changes to NRC's regulatory framework, culture , and infrastructure.

The Transformation Team is specifically tasked with the following:

1. Harvest innovation techniques, ideas, and methodologies to successfully implement transformation, including strategies to enhance and sustain a transformative organizational culture. In completing this task, the Transformation Team is encouraged to engage a variety of sources both internal and external to the NRC, including: the nuclear industry; non-governmental organizations; public organizations; private companies; and federal agencies such as the Department of Transportation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration .

2. Develop and recommend a specific area(s) to initiate transformative change within NRC.

2

3. Develop a strategy to promote the success of the specific area(s) recommended for transformation. The strategy should include a communications plan(s) for each area and a change management plan to foster and sustain (both innovation and) transformation as a characteristic of the NRC's organizational culture.

4. Develop a Commission paper that describes the merits of transformation . The paper should include sufficient information on each recommended transformation initiative to support a Commission decision on whether, why, and how staff should proceed with detailed development and implementation. The paper should also estimate the approach, schedule , and resources required to refine and implement each initiative, if approved by the Comm ission .

In carrying out its activities , the Transformation Team should remain focused on transformation that enables the safe and secure use of new technologies . This team will be guided and supported by the CXO Board.

The tasking is due within 90 days of the establishment of the Transformation Team .

RE: Ex-Plant Harvesting Coordination Meeting Attachme nts: Harvesting Needs Prioritization 11-2-17.xlsx OK, I apologize for sending this very last-minute before our meeting this afternoon (I hoped to send something last week!), but I wanted to share a strawman for this needs prioritization ranking approach before our meeting today.

In the attached Excel spreadsheet, please focus your attention on the first two tabs:

"Criteria descriptions" and "Other metals." The first tab identifies and describes the harvesting criteria and how to score based on those criteria. The second tab shows the example sheet for non-RPV metals and the handful of ideas we presented at the harvesting workshop back in March. There are 6 "technical criteria" that are scored and combined for a "technical" score. Then the cost/complexity is handled separately and the final two criteria of timeliness and availability of materials are considered "project specific", which to me means we can 't really address those until we know more about potential sources and specific harvesting opportunities.

If you guys get the chance to look at this some and take your own stab at scoring the "other metals" tab, please feel free. I'm hoping to use a portion of the meeting this afternoon to discuss and refine this straw man ranking approach.

Thanks!

Where: T-10E14 (Kathryn's office)

- Please note that the meeting time has been changed to 2:30pm**

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Purpose and Objective:

For NRC staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated, leveraging limited NRC resources to produce highly representative technical data of materials degradation for extended plant operation.

Approach:

NRC staff host a 2-day workshop with interested stakeholders, including domestic and international utilities and research organizations, to discuss benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Format will include sessions with time for presentations and open discussion of different aspects of ex-plant materials harvesting.

Views and insights from domestic and international regulators, researchers, ind ustry, and decommissioning companies' experience will be encouraged.

Intended Outcome:

NRC staff and stakeholders are better informed of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Contacts are made with domestic and international utilities and researchers to allow for further discussion of specific cooperative research projects that may address technical data gaps associated with materials degradation that can be best addressed through ex-plant harvesting.

Potential Dates:

March 9-10, 2017 - Thursday/Friday before RIC

March 16-17, 2017 - Thursday/Friday of RIC week

March 20-21, 2017 - Monday/Tuesday after RIC Discussion Topics:

Harvesting decision-making / prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting

Sources of materials:

o Decommissioning reactors o Operating reactors - replaced or failed components o Previous harvesting programs - "boneyards" o Tracking available materials

Harvesting process o Lessons learned from harvesting experience o Perspective of utility-owner and decommissioning contractor on harvesting o Communication and coordination between decommissioning and researchers

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Hi Mita, Darrell, and Eric, I am working with Amy Hull in my branch on an effort associated with strategic harvesting of ex-plant materials. This effort is just getting underway, but we would like to present the concept at an NRC-industry materials meeting in early June (see attached email). The purpose of this effort is to develop a more systematic proactive "strategic" approach to ex-plant material harvesting, rather than the more reactive opportunistic approach to date. It is important to share this concept with industry, since they will be vital in providing connections/communication to allow future harvesting projects to take place.

I am putting together a slide or two on the reactor internals materials harvesting project at Zorita that I am involved with . I understand each of you have be,en / are involved with other harvesting efforts at Zion and Zorita on cables, concrete, and neutron absorbers. If you could just provide a

slide or two with a high-level overview of the harvesting project and at least briefly touch on how the harvesting opportunity came together, that wou ld be great.

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Hi Mita, Darrell , and Eric,

I am working with Amy Hull in my branch on an effort associated with strategic harvesting of ex-plant materials. This effort is just getting underway, but we would like to present the concept at an NRG-industry materials meeting in early June (see attached email). The purpose of this effort is to develop a more systematic proactive "strategic" approach to ex-plant material harvesting ,

rather than the more reactive opportunistic approach to date. It is important to share this concept with industry, since they will be vital in providing connections/communication to allow future harvesting projects to take place .

I am putting together a slide or two on the reactor internals materials harvesting project at Zorita that I am involved with . I understand each of you have been/ are involved with other harvesti ng efforts at Zion and Zorita on cables , concrete, and neutron absorbers. If you could just provide a slide or two with a high-level overview of the harvesting project and at least briefly touch on how the harvesting opportunity came together, that wou ld be great.

Thanks!

Harvesting Experience

Approach

Engagement with Other Stakeholders 2

Purpose

Create a framework for a strategic approach to harvesting ex-plant materials

- Ex-plant materials offer unique environmental exposure that cannot be entirely replicated by laboratory testing with fresh materials

Combine high priority data needs identified in SLR/LTO activities with harvesting opportunities from decommissioning plants 3

Background

To date, harvesting opportunities have been limited due to few decommissioning plants

- Zion in U.S., Zorita in Spain

However, several U.S. plants have already shut down or are planning to do so in the near future

- Kewaunee, SONGS, Crystal River, Vermont Yankee, Oyster Creek

This provides a unique opportunity to plan harvesting for the maximum utility to address the highest priority technical issues 4

Harvesting Experience

Past harvesting efforts have generally involved a reactive decision-making process

- Limited opportunities to acquire ex-plant materials

- Limited strategic planning for harvesting

Harvesting projects with NRC involvement:

- Reactors internal materials from Zorita

- Concrete from Zorita

- Neutron absorber material from Zion

- Cables from Zion and Crystal River 5

Hi All ,

OK, Rob helped me share this announcement/dates with DOE and EPRI. T he feedback we received is that their preference would be to hold this workshop the week before RIC on March 7-8 (Tues/Wed) before the ACRS full committee meeting on the GALL SLR on Thursday, March 9.

I have gone ahead and reserved the TWFN Auditorium on those dates and updated the announcement to indicate the workshop will be held on March 7-8.

The next step is that Rob will share this announcement of the workshop to be held on March 7-8, 2017 with his international counterparts at CSNI as well as GRS (Germany) for the right contacts for international participation.

Where: TWFN-07801

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Location: NRG HQ in Rockville, MD Dates: March 7-8, 2017 Motivation:

There are increasing opportunities to harvest the safety-critical components from decommissioning plants, both domestic and international.

The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.

Data from ex-plant materials should help address technical gaps identified for extended operation of nuclear power plants due to highly relevant aging conditions.

Purpose and Objective:

For NRG staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated.

Workshop Topics:

Harvesting decision-making and prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting

Sources of materials:

o Decommissioning reactors o Operating reactors - replaced components o Previous harvesting programs - "boneyards" o Tracking available materials

Harvesting process o Lessons learned from harvesting experience o Perspective of utility-owner and decommissioning contractor on harvesting o Communication and coordination between decommissioning and researchers

International collaborative programs on specific components at specific plants

RE: Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting meeting

Matt, Your generic bullet is fine but you may want to add bullet(s) on why industry and regu lators would be interested in harvesting? In the US, the benefits of harvesting are reasonably understood, i.e. supporting and reviewing SLR applications but what would the international benefits be for foreign applicants, decommissioning companies and regulators? I think addressing/clarifying the domestic as well as international benefits under the Merits section would make the call for participation in the workshop stronger.

Hi Steve, I thought this bullet addressed that point generically for both domestic and international parties:

The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.

I'm not sure what other details to add given this is just a 1-page workshop announcement. If you have some additional language or details to offer, I am more than happy to add them.

RE: Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting meeting Thanks Matt, The Motivation section needs to be strengthened. What would motivate US entities or international partners to embark on harvesting ex-plant materials, a potential expensive and logistically complicated undertaking? Since domestic and international drivers are different (the licensing frameworks are different, SLR is unique in the US), this section should address topics that would "motivate" domestic as well as international entities to participate in the workshop.

Where:TWFN-07B01

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Location: NRG HQ in Rockville, MD Potential Dates:

March 16-17, 2017 - Thursday/Friday of RIC week

March 20-21, 2017 - Monday/Tuesday after RIC Motivation:

There are increasing opportunities to harvest the safety-critical components from decommissioning plants, both domestic and international.

_ The harvested materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab.

Data from ex-plant materials should help address technical gaps identified for extended operation of nuclear power plants due to highly relevant aging conditions.

Purpose and Objective:

For NRG staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated.

Workshop Topics:

Harvesting decision-making and prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting

Sources of materials:

o Decommissioning reactors o Operating reactors - replaced components o Previous harvesting programs - "boneyards" o Tracking available materials

Harvesting process o Lessons learned from harvesting experience o Perspective of utility-owner and decommissioning contractor on harvesting o Communication and coordination between decommissioning and researchers

International collaborative programs on specific components at specific plants

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting meeting W hen: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 10:00 AM-11:00 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US &

Canada).

Where:TWFN-07B01

Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting Workshop Motivation:

With the wave of plants shutting down both in the U.S. and Europe, there are increasing opportunities to harvest components from decommissioning plants. Ex-plant materials are valuable because they have been exposed to actual in-service plant operating conditions (temperature, irradiation, coolant, etc.), unlike virgin materials tested under simulated conditions in the lab, which reduces the uncertainty associated with the applicability of the aging conditions.

Insights from ex-plant harvesting research would support regulatory decisions for subsequent license renewal (SLR), and could have implications for the current license period depending on the findings.

There is a task in the new draft UNR for SLR from NRR/DLR requesting RES to investigate opportunities for harvesting where appropriate.

Purpose and Objective:

For NRC staff and interested stakeholders to have greater awareness and knowledge of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Facilitate contacts and communication to enable specific cooperative ex-plant harvesting programs to be initiated, leveraging limited NRC resources to produce highly representative techniical data of materials degradation for extended plant operation.

Approach:

NRC staff host a 2-day workshop with interested stakeholders, including domestic and international utilities and research organizations, to discuss benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting .

Format will include sessions with time for presentations and open discussion of different aspects of ex-plant materials harvesting.

Views and insights from domestic and international regulators (JNRA), researchers (DOE, SCK-CEN in Belgium), industry (EPRI, utilities), and decommissioning companies' experience will be encouraged.

Single talk given at relevant RIC session to disseminate ex-plant harvesting effort and encourage participatiion in workshop.

Intended Outcome:

NRC staff and stakeholders are better informed of the benefits and challenges associated with ex-plant harvesting.

Contacts are made with domestic and international utilities and researchers to allow for further discussion of specific cooperative research projects that may address technical data gaps associated with materials degradation that can be best addressed through ex-plant harvesting.

Potential Dates:

March 9-10, 2017 - Thursday/Friday before RIC

March 16-17, 2017 - Thursday/Friday of RIC week

March 20-21, 2017 - Monday/Tuesday after RIC

Discussion Topics:

Harvesting decision-making / prioritization o Technical data needs best addressed by harvesting o Technical information needed in advance of harvesting

RE: Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting meeting

Matt, Your generic bullet is fine but you may want to add bullet(s) on why industry and regu lators would be interested in harvesting? In the US, the benefits of harvesting are reasonably understood, i.e. supporting and reviewing SLR applications but what would the international benefits be for foreign applicants, decommissioning companies and regulators? I think

addressing/clarifying the domestic as well as international benefits under the Merits section would make the call for participation in the workshop stronger.

RE: Ex-Plant Materials Harvesting meeting

Thanks Matt, The Motivation section needs to be strengthened. What would motivate US entities or international partners to embark on harvesting ex-plant materials, a potential expensive and logistically complicated undertaking? Since domestic and international drivers are different (the licensing frameworks are different, SLR is unique in the US), this section should address topics that would "motivate" domestic as well as international entities to participat e in the workshop .

RE: Ex-plant Materials Harvesting Workshop

==Dear Workshop

Participants:

==

I would like to share for your review and comment the workshop summary report (attached). In the report, we tried to capture as much of the discussion as possible, while focusing on the key takeaways that might be useful for all part icipants as they consider harvesting in the future. In particular, please review how your presentation and contribution t o the discussion is characterized, in case you f eel it should be clarified in any way. Feel free to provide additional references to previous research on harvested materials t hat should be captured in t his report. Comments, edits, and suggestions on any other parts of the report are welcome.

Please provide your input by June 30 at the lat est and we will try to finalize the report by sometime in July.

As indicated in action items 4 and 5, we will be pursuing further coordination efforts on data needs for harvesting and a sources of materials database and welcome any other parties that may be interested in participating in these discussions.

Thank you once again for your participation and engagement in this workshop!

Thanks!

I have attached a list of participants in last week's workshop, along with their email for contact.

Also, I have not received any concerns from the presenters regarding sharing slides, so feel free to share the slides, which are available on Google Drive:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BSDWMLchSYSXcnpZZ0JOS0SSQUU .

We hope to share a detailed workshop summary report in the next two months.

Thanks!
