SUMMARY

OF THE FEBRUARY 5, 2021, PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS KAIROS POWER LLCS QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM TOPICAL REPORT CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS SET 3 On February 5, 2021, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession No. ML21026A326), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a virtual Category 1 public meeting with Kairos Power LLC (Kairos) using the Microsoft Teams platform. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the third set of NRCs clarification questions regarding Kairos Quality Assurance (QA) Program topical report (TR). The list of attendees is provided as an enclosure to this document.

The NRCs clarification questions can be found in ADAMS under Accession No. ML21025A053. The NRCs third set of clarification questions had five questions that were shared with Kairos via email on January 15, 2021, prior to the public meeting.

Kairos clarified that the reference in Part V, Additional Quality Assurance and Administrative Controls for the Plant Operational Phase, Section 3, Operational Phase Procedures, of the TR to Appendix A of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations), was a typographical error that will be corrected when Kairos submits its revision to the QA TR. Kairos stated that it has committed to RG 1.33, which endorses American National Standard Institute/American Nuclear Society (ANSI/ANS) 3.2-2012, Managerial Administrative, and Quality Assurance Controls for Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plants, and therefore, addresses the provisions in Section 3.6, Document Control, of ANSI/ANS 3.2-2012.
