SUMMARY

OF JANUARY 28, 2021, PUBLIC MEETING ON THE NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION EMBARK VENTURE STUDIO EXTERNAL MISSION ANALYTICS PORTAL PROJECT On January 28, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a Category 2 public meeting to present information on the EMBARK Venture Studio (EMBARK), in partnership with the Office of the Chief Information Officer, External Mission Analytics Portal (MAP-X) project.

The staff began the presentation with a discussion on the vision for the MAP-X project: to empower stakeholders with data analytical tools, including a secure, flexible, and personalized self-service gateway to retrieve, submit, and/or interact with regulatory information through a standard web browser. This portal will enable better data accessibility and data transparency, in order to become a more modern risk-informed regulator.

The staffs slide presentation (Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems Accession No. ML21026A262) illustrated the following aspects of the MAP-X project:

  • Key stakeholders are members of the public, licensees, applicants, State and Federal government representatives, and industry groups.
  • Web based analytic tools will be available for all stakeholders, including members of the public.
  • The portal will primarily be used by applicants for submitting data, retrieving data, and interacting with data.
  • A pilot project, Web Based Relief Requests (WRR), is in progress.
  • Next steps are to gather feedback, identify challenges, and prioritize modules for release.
  • The plan is to hold quarterly public meetings to update on progress.

CONTACTS: Catherine Nolan, NRR/EVS 301-415-1535

S. Anderson Following the presentation, a demonstration of the current MAP-X pilot project, WRR, was given by the software developers. WRR is the foundation on which MAP-X will be built and enhanced.

Additional modules are planned to allow stakeholders to be able to submit, retrieve, and interact with more NRC data.

Following the staffs presentation and demonstration, the Nuclear Energy Institute and other industry representatives indicated support for the MAP-X initiative. Industry representatives also asked questions related to the possible use of MAP-X in support of reporting requirements, CLIIP traveler adoptions, vendor submissions, and research and test reactors. The public participants provided no comments.
