Welcome
Purpose The purpose of this meeting is to discuss recent clarifications on the draft implementation guidance document (NEI 20-05) related to proposed rulemaking on alternative physical security requirements for non-light water reactors and small modular reactors.
- Specifically, the staffs response (issued 4/13/2021) to NEIs clarification email dated 3/22/2021 regarding Criterion A and the term unmitigated Logistics Todays meeting is an Observation meeting, which means that attendees are invited to observe the meeting and discuss regulatory issues with, and pose questions to, the NRC representatives at a designated point or points identified on the agenda.
No regulatory decisions will be made at todays meeting.
4 Purpose
Rulemaking NRC currently developing Alternative Physical Security Requirements for Advanced Reactors -
proposed rule More information about this rulemaking and its supporting guidance can be found:
www.regualtions,gov under docket ID: NRC-2017-0227 Supporting Guidance Implementation guidance for this proposed rulemaking will consist of DG-1365 and may endorse NEI 20-05.
The NRC staff is developing DG-1365 which focuses on the physical security alternatives and will serve as the vehicle for endorsing any external implementing guidance for this rulemaking.
NEI is developing NEI 20-05 which focuses on the eligibility criteria contained in the proposed rulemaking.

§ 73.55(a)(7)(i) Eligibility criteria.
(A) The radiological consequences from a hypothetical, unmitigated event involving the loss of engineered systems for decay heat removal and possible breaches in physical structures surrounding the reactor, spent fuel, and other inventories of radioactive materials result in offsite doses below the reference values defined in §§ 50.34(a)(1)(ii)(D) and 52.79(a)(1)(vi) of this chapter; or (B) The plant features necessary to mitigate an event and maintain offsite doses below the reference values in §§ 50.34(a)(1)(ii)(D) and 52.79(a)(1)(vi) of this chapter cannot reasonably be compromised by an adversary as defined by the design basis threat for radiological sabotage; or (C) Plant features include inherent reactor characteristics combined with engineered safety and security features that allow for facility recovery and mitigation strategy implementation if a target set is compromised, destroyed, or rendered nonfunctional, such that offsite radiological consequences are maintained below the reference values defined in §§ 50.34(a)(1)(ii)(D) and 52.79(a)(1)(vi) of this chapter.
