September 30, 2021 MEMORANDUM TO: Andrea D. Veil, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Raymond V. Furstenau, Director Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research John W. Lubinski, Director Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards FROM: Joseph E. Donoghue, Director /RA/
Division of Safety Systems Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Bo M. Pham, Director /RA/
Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
SUBJECT:
SECOND UPDATE TO THE PROJECT PLAN TO PREPARE THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION FOR EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE LICENSING OF ACCIDENT TOLERANT FUELS The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit the updated Version 1.2 of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) Project Plan, Project Plan to Prepare the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to Efficiently and Effectively License Accident Tolerant Fuels (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML21243A298). The plan has been developed by the NRCs cross-office ATF steering committee, chaired by the Division of Safety Systems in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, and associated working group to prepare the agency for timely licensing of ATF-concept, increased enrichment, and higher burnup fuels. This revision of the project plan integrates the previous Appendix A, Fuel Burnup and Enrichment Extension Preparation Strategy, to better reflect the industrys focus on higher fuel burnup and increased enrichment fuels. Additionally, the previous Appendix B, NRC Plans to Develop Analysis Capability, has been deleted to streamline the plan by removing outdated information that is available in other documents.
CONTACT: Michael Wentzel, NRR/DORL/LPLII-2 (301) 415-6459
A. Veil The NRC staff made draft Version 1.2 available to the public on July 9, 2021 and held a public meeting on July 22, 2021 to solicit feedback from stakeholders. The Nuclear Energy Institute submitted a formal letter (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML21221A130) on August 5, 2021, capturing industry comments. The NRC staff considered industry comments in finalizing this revision of the project plan. The NRC staff will issue a summary of the staffs responses to the comments in a separate correspondence.
The steering committee considers the plan to be a living document that will evolve, as needed, as concepts mature and industry plans solidify.
