Items of Interest Week Ending May 13, 2022 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff Meets With the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations On May 5, 2022, the NRC staff conducted the annual coordination meeting with the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). The NRC staff and INPO discussed the following items of mutual interest concerning INPO's training program accreditation process: COVID-19 responses taken by NRC and INPO; Revision 12 for NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors;" key guidance documents for advanced reactors and Commission review of training programs; and INPOs plans to develop accreditation guidelines for small modular reactors.
NRC Staff Reopens Comment Period for Draft Interim Staff Guidance On December 14, 2021 the staff published a Federal Register Notice (FRN) requesting comments on the draft Interim Staff Guidance (ISG), DNRL-ISG-2022-XX, "Safety Review of Light-Water Power-Reactor Construction Permit Applications" (86 FR 71101). The purpose of this ISG is to clarify existing guidance and to assist the staff in determining whether an application to construct a light-water power-reactor facility meets the minimum requirements to issue a construction permit. The initial comment period closed on January 28, 2022. However, in order to receive clarification on two topics submitted during the initial comment period, the staff published a new FRN (87 FR 27195) on May 6, 2022, to reopen the comment period for an additional 15 days ending on May 21, 2022. The staff expects to issue the final ISG in Fall 2022.

NIST chose ADR in response to a Choice Letter issued with the special inspection report providing options to resolve seven apparent violations identified during the inspection before the NRC makes its enforcement decision. If issues are successfully resolved during ADR, the NRC will issue a confirmatory order to NIST documenting the agreement and required actions. The ADR session will not address the NIST restart decision.
