Meeting Summary After introductions, the opening remarks included X-energy representatives stating that the subject white paper was developed early in the licensing process at the pre-application phase and with the purpose of satisfying one of the Advanced Reactors Demonstration Program requirements. X-energy has made significant progress on addressing several important areas such as the development of a site-specific template. X-energy representatives stated that they plan to incorporate the NRC staffs feedback in a subsequent topical report (TR). Tom Braudt, X-energy, mentioned that they are working on identifying the exemptions that are planned to be requested and will be mentioned in the upcoming submittals related to the security plans.

X-energy intends to continue to engage with the NRC staff on security and several other topics as part of the pre-application activities for the Xe-100 design. X-energy plans to submit a TR related to physical protection in the near future for NRC review.
During the open question and answer portion of the meeting, a member of the public noted that the link for the white paper was not properly linked in the NRC webpage for X-energy. The NRC staff took the action to resolve the issue.
