SUMMARY
OF JULY 6, 2023, PUBLIC MEETING BETWEEN THE U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION, NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE, AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS DISCUSSING THE PROPOSED NRC GUIDANCE REGARDING THE USE OF MODELING AND SIMULATION TOOLS FOR SECURITY PLAN CHANGES On July 6, 2023, staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRCs) Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response held a virtual public meeting on the agencys development of guidance regarding the use of modeling and simulation (MODSIM) tools for security plan changes. The meeting was attended by over 50 people, and there was outstanding back-and-forth dialogue between participants.
The NRC staff presented an overview of the MODSIM guidance development (ML23178A071),
and this was followed by a presentation provided by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) staff on industrys current and planned uses of MODSIM technologies (ML23181A060). The subsequent discussions focused primarily on advanced reactors and how those potential applicants could use MODSIM tools, given their lack of a defined reactor site footprint at present. Other areas of focus in the discussion included the agencys timeline for the MODSIM Regulatory Guide/NUREG development and whether there will be an opportunity for public comment/public meetings. The NRC staff confirmed its intent to solicit public comment both from the Federal Register Notice as well as through one or more public meetings. In addition, there were questions about the practical aspects of the proposed guidance (e.g., how baseline scenarios are defined, how the physical protection system probability of system effectiveness (PE) is calculated, how MODSIM tools are accredited).
