SUMMARY
OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2021, CATEGORY 3 COMMENT GATHERING PUBLIC WEBINAR REGARDING THE DISCUSSION OF ADVANCE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES DRAFT GUIDELINES DOCUMENTS On September 16, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a Category 3 Comment-Gathering public webinar to allow the NRC staff to discuss two draft documents titled, "Draft Advance Manufacturing Technologies Review Guidelines," (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No ML21074A037) and "Draft Guidelines Document for Additive Manufacturing - Laser Powder Bed Fusion" (ADAMS No. ML21074A040) developed under the agency's Advance Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) Action Plan (ADAMS No. ML19333B980).
The staff communicated the following takeaways:
Regulatory Preparedness - The NRC staff is developing draft guidelines to define generic technical information to be addressed during reviews of licensing actions requesting the use of an AMT.
Technical Letter Reports (TLR) are being generated for each AMT technology defined in the agencys AMT Action Plan that will provide the technical basis information and gap analysis to develop the draft guidelines.
CONTACT: Isaac A. Anchondo-Lopez, NRR/DNRL (817) 200-1152 A Technical Assessment (TA) document will be prepared for each TLR. The intent of the TA is for NRC staff to provide context to the gaps identified in the TLR from the staffs perspective. The TA will highlight key technical information related to the specific AMTs use for nuclear applications Draft guidelines will be developed by NRC staff and will be informed by each AMT-specific TA and TLR. Ultimately, each AMT-specific draft guidelines will supplement the Draft AMT Review Guidelines document.
There will be additional interaction opportunities between NRC staff, external stakeholders, and members of the public as additional AMT-specific draft guidelines are developed.
Over 30 stakeholders attended the meeting with participation from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), Westinghouse, and multiple licensees. A representative from NEI and Westinghouse engaged in a discussion regarding consistency in terminology used in the presented documents. NEI mentioned that voluntary comments will be submitted to the NRC staff.
Members of the public that might have been in attendance did not participate in the allocated discussion times.
