NRC Update to TICAP Guidance 5

NRC draft exceptions, clarifications, and additions (ML21274A032)

Discussed during October 5, 2021, Public Meeting Staff updating July 8, 2021, draft TICAP Regulatory Guide white paper (ML21190A014) to include the following:

Exceptions, clarifications, and additions discussed during October 5, 2021, public meeting Interpretation of principal design criteria (PDC) requirements and proposed guidance not included and will be updated when staff position has been developed Staff removing addition related to applicability of Tables 5-1 and 5-2 to Non-Safety-Related with Special Treatment (NSRST) structures, systems, and components (SSCs).

Based on reconsideration from information provided during October 5, 2021, public meeting, staff determined that this does not apply to the NSRST SSC classification process

NRC Update to TICAP Guidance 6

Staff updating July 8, 2021, draft TICAP Regulatory Guide white paper (ML21190A014) to include the following (continued):

Exceptions, clarifications, and additions discussed during October 5, 2021, public meeting (continued):

Staff considering changes to discussion Appendix B, Example Licensing Basis Event Descriptions, beyond stating that it does not endorse it.

Considering expanding discussion, with appropriate caveats, that Appendix B provides useful examples on how to apply the guidance in specific areas Staff notes that in the absence of an NRC-approved SAR with associated references, a conclusion on completeness is predecisional

NRC Update to TICAP Guidance 7

Staff updating July 8, 2021, draft TICAP Regulatory Guide white paper (ML21190A014) to include the following (continued):

Updating draft TICAP Regulatory Guide white paper Appendix A, Construction Permit Application Guidance, based on NEI 21-07, Revision 0 and to note inconsistencies, for example:

Detailed list addressing site information required to be in the construction permit (CP) application Scope of the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) information broader and more detailed Preliminary analysis to support §§ 50.34(a)(4) & 50.43(e)(1)(iii) reasonable assurance finding addressed in Section 2.c of Appendix A PDC discussion and complimentary design criteria (CDC) discussion will be updated Information to support determinations that each Safety-Related (SR) or NSRST SSC will meet reliability and performance specifications credited in the PRA discussed in Sections 6 and 7 of Appendix A Outside of TICAP guidance, NRC is considering adding guidance on how to select the source term to be used for the siting determination to the ISG for Chapter 2 "Site Information"

Next Steps - Future Milestones TICAP Near-Term Milestones Target Date Update of NRC Draft Guidance Documents November 2021 ACRS Future Plant Designs Subcommittee Meeting on ARCAP/TICAP Guidance Documents December 15, 2021 Continuation of Discussion of NRC draft Exceptions, Clarifications, and Additions (possibility of future draft industry or staff documents)
