The letter references the NRC staffs draft white paper, Pre-application Engagement to Optimize Advanced Reactors Application Reviews (ADAMS Accession No. ML21145A106), dated May 2021, that emphasized the importance of pre-application interactions with reactor developers and prospective applicants to provide stability and predictability in the licensing process through early identification and resolution of technical and policy issues that could affect certification or licensing.
NRC Held a Public Meeting on Regulatory Improvements to Support the Licensing of Advanced Reactors On July 15, 2021, the NRC staff held an Advanced Reactor Stakeholder Meeting on regulatory improvements to support the licensing of advanced reactors (ADAMS Accession No. ML21195A378). Discussion topics included updates to the NRCs advanced reactor web pages and integrated schedule, annual fees, status of the advanced reactor Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), updates to Advanced Reactor and Technology-Inclusive Content of Application Projects (ARCAP and TICAP, respectively), discussion of NRCs draft white paper on the analysis and applicability of NRC regulations for non-light water reactors (LWRs),
Argonne National Labs report for non-LWR vessel cooling systems, and insights on adapting licensing frameworks to new non-power technologies. Overall, the stakeholder feedback was positive. This meeting was in support of Strategy 1 (knowledge management), Strategy 3 (regulatory framework), and Strategy 5 (resolution of policy issues) of the advanced reactor implementation action plans (see https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/advanced/vision-and-strategy.html for more information).

The event provided a forum for the students to discuss nuclear power and how the NRC regulates the nuclear industry.
Topics covered included the basics of radiation, medical uses of radioactive materials, environmental reviews, and emergency preparedness and incident response. The event concluded with a panel discussion where the students asked the NRC staff questions on various topics.
