PRA Configuration Control Tabletop Update ROP Bi-Monthly Meeting September 28, 2022 Edgardo Torres Reliability and Risk Analyst Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Division of Risk Assessment PRA Oversight Branch

Key Messages

  • The existing oversight process is adequate to ensure implementation of programs informed by PRA models.
  • However, we believe that there is a current gap in the oversight of PRA Configuration Control programs.
  • A balanced approach of focused inspections/safety enhancements within the existing ROP baseline inspection program of PRA changes and upgrades are being proposed to monitor appropriate implementation of configuration control programs for licensee PRA models that support risk-informed decision-making.

Key Messages (Cont.)

  • PRA Configuration Control framework will be informed and developed by the NRC working group recommendations, based on the information gathering and guidance development efforts, as well as with industry and the public through multiple public meetings.
  • Three out of eight tabletops completed:

- To date, based on limited review, NRC staff have not identified any significant findings on how licensees are implementing their programs

- Based on the team's findings and observations of all eight tabletops, the team will propose recommendations to enhance oversight activities for approval

- The approach we are taking in addressing this initiative demonstrates our commitment to our principles of good regulation of openness.
