Draft Regulatory Guide 1404, Guidance for a Technology Inclusive Content of Application Methodology to Inform the Licensing Basis and Content of Applications for Licenses, ML22076A003 88 FR 33846 NRC-2022-0073 Certifications, and Approvals for Advanced Reactors 3
ARCAP/TICAP Background
- Guidance for developing and reviewing technology-inclusive, risk-informed, and performance-based non-light water (non-LWR) applications
- Being developed to support 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 52 applications Needed to support expected near-term non-LWR Part 50/52 applications using the licensing modernization project (LMP) process in NEI 18-04, Revision 1
- The NRC staff intends to revise the guidance per the final Part 53 rulemaking language 4
TICAP Background
- TICAP scope is governed by the LMP-based process LMP uses risk-informed, performance-based approach to select licensing basis events, develop structures, systems, and components (SSC) categorization, and ensure that defense-in-depth is considered
- Industry developed key portions of TICAP guidance See NEI 21-07, Revision 1, Technology Inclusive Guidance for Non-Light Water Reactors Safety Analysis Report Content for Applicants Utilizing NEI 18-04 Methodology, (ADAMS Accession No. ML22060A190)
ARCAP Background
- Broad in nature and intended to cover guidance for non-LWR applications for:
combined licenses construction permits operating licenses design certifications standard design approvals manufacturing licenses
- Encompasses TICAP
- TICAP is guidance for off-normal reactor states only. ARCAP encompasses everything needed for a license application.
