OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION Meeting Summary:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a virtual partially closed meeting with representatives from X-Energy, LLC (X-energy). The meeting was conducted in accordance with NRC Management Directive 3.5, Attendance at NRC Staff-Sponsored Meetings (ADAMS Accession No. ML21180A271).
During the public portion of the meeting, X-energy presented their public slides. There was no discussion with the NRC staff during or after the presentation. There were no public comments during the public comment period.
During the closed portion of the meeting, X-energy presented a proprietary set of slides to the NRC staff. The main points of discussion in the closed session included:
For the slide with the reactor diagram and temperatures graph, the NRC staff asked several questions:
The NRC staff asked if this analysis is for abnormal events, or just for normal events.
X-energy responded that this graph was for normal 100% power operation and no abnormal events are represented. This data set is for the best estimate at this moment in time and will likely change as the design is refined.
The NRC staff also asked ((
)).
The NRC asked what the top reflector material is. X-energy responded that the top reflector is made of ((
)).
The NRC staff asked how X-energy will know when the best fit curves go beyond the crossover fluence. X-energy responded the graphite is ((
)). The current analysis does not account for uncertainty or material property variability.
X-energy staff stated during their presentation that ((
)).
The NRC staff asked X-energy to comment on data from the ((
)).
The NRC staff asked if X-energy viewed high temperature creep data at high fluences as relevant. X-energy stated that the ((
)).
The NRC staff discussed the use of limited extrapolation allowed by the ASME Code. Limited extrapolation is not defined in the ASME Code and the NRC staff asked of X-energy is extrapolating temperature, fluence, or both, and asked if X-energy has limits or guidance for extrapolation of this type. X-energy stated that ((
)).
OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION The NRC staff asked if graphite ((
)). X-energy responded that they dont expect to see ((
)) could be changed if justified.
The NRC staff noted that in the area of a graph where ((
)). The NRC staff asked what are X-energys plans, or what actions are being taken, if the data ((
)). X-energy responded that they are doing testing at ((
)). X-energy stated that the testing should meet the ASME non-stressed data requirements.
The NRC staff asked about credited historical graphite data, specifically if the graphite in the data cant be guaranteed to be the same as analyzed/used by X-energy to meet the requirements in Article HHA-5000, Historical Data, of Section III Division 5. X-energy responded that they will work with the manufacturer to assure the graphite used by X-energy is consistent with the tested material.
At the end of the meeting, the X-energy reviewed several questions that they wanted the NRC staff to answer in the NRCs white paper feedback. The NRC staff said to directly ask those questions within the white paper and the NRC will respond.
