©2023 Nuclear Energy Institute Industry Perspective on NRC Oversight of PRA Configuration Control NRC Public Meeting March 30, 2023
©2023 Nuclear Energy Institute 2 Overview Guiding principles for effort Industry lessons learned from tabletop evaluations Future and ongoing industry actions Continuing points for future evaluation
©2023 Nuclear Energy Institute 3 Guiding Principles for PRA Configuration Control Tabletop Inspection Effort Build on previous reviews (licensing reviews, peer reviews)
Consistent with existing regulations, regulatory guides, and license conditions Industry and NRC resource allocation appropriate for relative safety impact
©2023 Nuclear Energy Institute 4 Overarching theme: clarity and documentation are vital Use and definition of various models
Model of record
Working models
Application specific models Process for incorporating new types of equipment/operational procedures (e.g. FLEX, OPC)
Documentation and procedures for engagement with engineering on modification reviews Key Industry Lessons Learned from Tabletop Inspection Process
©2023 Nuclear Energy Institute 5 Industry Actions Moving Forward High performance in licensee PRA configuration control Owners Group report on best practices Internal industry best practices Continued engagement with NRC
©2023 Nuclear Energy Institute 6 Orderly and predictable roll-out Scope of training for NRC regional staff and other staff supporting inspections Consistency in interpretations Delineation between information and operating experience Appropriately sized inspection process Inspection team size Scope of inspection Ensure no repetition of previous reviews Inspection interval Four years conflicts with schedule for application-driven model updates Consider lengthening to make best use of NRC and licensee resources Future Engagement with NRC
