Purpose & Outcome e

~~N

~tt~

PURPOSE To provide SM R's understanding of the operational programs required for SMR-160 OUTCOME To obtain feedback and gain alignment with the NRC staff on the technical content threshold and implementation milestones of various operational programs for a future CPA.
