CONTACT: Robert Roche-Rivera 301-415-8113 1 Public Meeting Notice: https://www.nrc.gov/pmns/mtg?do=details&Code=20230839
This years event included four sessions. These sessions covered development of codes and standards for advanced reactors; international initiatives and perspectives regarding coordination and collaboration on standards development; perspectives on the development and use of risk-informed and performance-based standards; and needs, strategies, and areas for collaboration for the development of standards for artificial intelligence systems. The following is a summary of the discussions in the sessions.
Session 1: Importance of Standards, Opportunities for Participation and Collaboration Session 1 was chaired by Meraj Rahimi, Branch Chief of the Regulatory Guide and Programs Management Branch within the Division of Engineering (DE) in RES. The session included five presentations.
The session opened with a presentation by Mr. Gordon Gillerman, Director, NIST Standards Coordination Office and Chair of Interagency Committee on Standards Policy (ICSP). Mr.
Gillerman provided an overview on the private sector led standards system in the U.S. and discussed the U.S. Government (USG) National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (NSSCET). The USG NSSCET has for objectives, including (1) investment, (2) participation, (3) workforce, and (4) integrity and inclusivity. The U.S. will prioritize efforts for standards development for a subset of critical and emerging technologies (CET) that are essential for U.S. competitiveness and national security, including the following areas:
Communication and Networking Technologies, Semiconductors and Microelectronics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Biotechnologies, Positioning, Navigation, Timing Services, Digital Identity Infrastructure and Distributed Ledger Technologies, Clean Energy Generation and Storage, and Quantum Information Technologies. On September 7, 2023, NIST issued a request for information (88 FR 61527) in the Federal Register to support the development of an implementation plan for the USG NSSCET. As part of this effort, NIST may hold a series of Listening Sessions or Stakeholder Events.
Mr. Gillermans presentation was followed by a presentation from Ms. Frances Pimentel, Senior Project Manager on Engineering and Risk at NEI. Ms. Pimentels presentation discussed the Advanced Reactors Codes and Standards Collaborative (ARCSC). The mission of the ARCSC is to ensure the development, alignment and timely availability of U.S., Canadian and international codes and standards needed to support large-scale advanced reactor deployment and its membership includes individuals from NEI, EPRI, SDOs including ASME, ANS, CSA, IEEE, and ASCE. The ARCSC is a component of the NEI/EPRI North American Advanced Reactor Roadmap (NAARR) and has four objectives including, (1) facilitate information sharing between SDOs and industry, (2) identify and gather advanced reactor developer standards needs, (3) inform and complement international and national codes and standards efforts, and (4) align actions with the NEI/EPRI Advanced Reactor Roadmap Codes and Standards building block. The ARCSC is currently seeking input from the nuclear community on needs and gaps for advanced reactor codes and standards and released the survey at the following link, https://forms.office.com/r/H4QjKBjhbs, to support the collection of input. Additionally, the ARCSC plans on holding a workshop on November 30, 2023, in Washington D.C.
Ms. Pimentels presentation was followed by a presentation from Dr. Andrew Sowder, Chair of the ANS Standards Board. Dr. Sowder discussed ANS organizational structure and its standards development scope. Further, Dr. Sowder discussed existing ANS standards for advanced reactors, ANS strategies for the development of standards for advanced reactors, including engagement through advanced reactor sessions at ANS national and topical
meetings, ANS Advanced Reactor Working Group, RP3C Community of Practice seminars, and the ANS/ASME Joint Committee on Nuclear Risk Management, amongst other. Further, Dr.
Sowder discussed ANSs support to the NAARR. Dr. Sowders presentation was followed by a presentation from Mr. Tom Vogan, Senior Vice President and chair of the Council on Standards Certification at ASME. Mr. Vogans presentation highlighted ongoing ASME efforts related to the development of codes and standards for advanced reactors, which include for the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC)Section III, a Code Case under development to support all advanced reactor types, update of seismic requirements, and publication of the latest edition of Division 5 on High Temperature Reactors, amongst other. Additionally, Mr. Vogans presentation covered advanced reactors related standards under BPVC Section XI, as well as Qualification for Mechanical Equipment Standard, and the Operations and Maintenance Code.
Mr. Vogan also highlighted upcoming ASME Events including, the Nuclear Engineering Division Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Conference scheduled for March 2024 at EPRI Offices, Charlotte, NC.
The last presentation for this session was provided by Mr. Mark Bowman, Chair of the IEEE Nuclear Power Engineering Committee (NPEC). Mr. Bowman provided an update of IEEE NPEC and its standards development scope. Additionally, Mr. Bowman discussed significant activities including the recent development or revision of several key nuclear power standards, coordination with NRC for standards endorsement, development of joint-logo standards with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and IEEE NPECs participation in the ARCSC.
Session 2: International Initiatives on Codes and Standards Session 2 was chaired by Tex Steinfeldt, International Programs Specialist, Division of Program Management, Policy Development & Analysis, in RES. The session opened with remarks by Sabrina Atack, Deputy Director, Office of International Programs.
The first presentation for this session was provided by Dr. Pekka Pyy, Senior Expert in the field of supply chain, organization and management systems with the Division of Nuclear Power in the Department of Nuclear Energy at the IAEA. Dr. Pyy discussed the IAEAs Nuclear Harmonization and Standardization Initiative (NHSI), specifically the Industry Track component of the initiative. The Industry Track is divided into 4 topical groups to foster initiatives in the industry that aim to facilitate global deployment of SMRs through standardization and harmonization. Topical group 1 focuses on harmonization of high-level user requirements, group 2 on common approaches on codes and standards, group 3 on experimental testing and validation for design and safety analysis computer codes, and group 4 on acceleration of nuclear infrastructure implementation for SMRs and Microreactors. Topical group 2 on common approaches on codes and standards has the objectives to identify similarities and differences, understand why they exist, share information on the findings, develop common approaches, and harmonize where sensible. Dr. Pyy also discussed the work in progress under topical group 2 and upcoming events, including a technical meeting scheduled for December 11 - 15, 2023 which is an open meeting and welcomes public participation.
Dr. Pyys presentation was followed by a presentation from Dr. Sangmin Lee, nuclear safety specialist at the NEA. In his presentation Dr. Lee discussed the work of NEAs Working Group on Codes and Standards (WGCS). The mandate of the WGCS is to facilitate and promote international co-operation, convergence and reconciliation of codes, standards and regulatory requirements for pressure-boundary components in nuclear power plants. Dr. Lee discussed a number of events hosted by the WGCS, including a recent Aging Management workshop held on June 2023 which facilitated a comparison of national regulatory requirements related to
aging phenomena on reactor coolant pressure boundary, amongst other. Dr. Lee also shared the as of December 2022, the WGCS activities have been closed under the new Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) structure. However, under the new structure, the expert group under on Materials and Mechanical Codes and Standards under the New Technologies working group is taking over the of the WGCS regarding safety classification.
Session 3: Development of Risk-Informed and Performance-Based (RIPB) Standards Session 3 was chaired by Matthew Humberstone, Senior Reliability and Risk Analyst, Division of Risk Analysis, in RES. The session opened with remarks by Mike Franovich, Division Director, Division of Risk Assessment, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
The first presentation for this session was provided by Dr. N. Prasad Kadambi, Chair of the ANS Risk-informed, Performance-based Principles and Policy Committee (RP3C). Dr. Kadambi provided an overview of ANS activities in support of RIPB standards. One of the key activities was the creation of the RP3C which is responsible for the identification and oversight of the development and implementation of RIPB approaches in ANS standards. The RP3C also has the objective to work with whole standards development community and share information on RIPB principles and practices and the committee has been doing that via a series of RP3C Community of Practice (CoP) typically held on the last Friday of every month. Dr. Kadambi also highlighted a number of ANS Standards applicable to Advanced Reactors and emphasized the importance of the regulatory endorsement of these standards which would support their effective use and implementation.
Dr. Kadambis presentation was followed by a presentation from Dr. Dave Grabaskas, manager of the Licensing and Risk Assessments group at Argonne National Laboratory and Chair of the ASME/ANS Non Light Water Reactor (Non-LWR) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) standard working group. Dr. Grabaskas discussion covered implementation experience of the Non-LWR PRA standard as endorsed by NRC Regulatory Guide 1.247 (For Trial Use),
Acceptability of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Non-Light Water Reactor Risk-Informed Activities. The standard covers the entire spectrum of PRA from initiating events to offsite consequences and is meant to cover the whole life cycle of the facility for example from a very simplified conceptual design PRA to an actual operational plant PRA. As part of the vendors now using the standard as part of a risk informed performance based licensing application, we are starting to identify you know, some areas have been identified where there might be potential discrepancies between standard requirements and the requirements of the risk informed performance based approaches themselves. Also, some vendors who are not using completely risk informed approaches, but may be using partially risk informed or even deterministic approaches, are leveraging elements within the standard to perform those analyses. Such use of the standard might inform future updates and revisions of the standard.
Dr. Grabaskas presentation was followed by a presentation from Dr. Andrew Whittaker, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University at Buffalo and Chair of the ASCE Nuclear Standards Committee. Dr. Whittaker discussed treatment of extremes in risk informed performance based design, specifically wind-borne missile impacts, aircraft impacts, and extreme ground shaking. Dr. Whittaker discussed some of the assumptions and conservatism associated with these extreme loads/events and suggested that such assumptions and conservatism should be revisited and perhaps made more realistic and right sized so as to improve the design efficiency of nuclear power structures while maintaining acceptable levels of safety and risk.
Dr. Whittakers presentation was followed by a presentation from Dr. Rebecca Steinman, Chair of IEEE NPEC Subcommittee 3. Dr. Steinman provide an overview of the IEEE approach to risk informing their suite of nuclear related consensus standards. Rather than revising the suite of IEEE deterministic standards and try to make them make them cover risk informed aspects, IEEE instead created a new standard to bridge the gap, namely IEEE 1819-2016, IEEE Standard for Risk-Informed Categorization and Treatment of Electrical and Electronic Equipment at Nuclear Power Generating Stations and Other Nuclear Facilities. IEEE requested NRCs consideration of IEEE 1819 for endorsement; however, other industry stakeholders have provided feedback on areas where the standard may not agree with other existing standards.
IEEE, with consideration of the feedback received, is in the process of revising IEEE 1819 (revision started in March 2023). Dr. Steinman encouraged participation by interested stakeholders in the ongoing revision IEEE 1819. Dr. Steinman also highlighted the scope of IEEE 1819 which is twofold. First is to provide a method of translating the class 1E and non-class 1E classification system into the same risk classification system available in other standards. Second, IEEE 1819 is intended to serve as a roadmap for the existing IEEE deterministic standards as to how they should be applied when a risk categorization of equipment is used.
Dr. Steinmans presentation was followed by a presentation from Mr. Thomas Basso, Senior Director for Engineering and Risk at the Nuclear Energy Institute and Manager of the NEI Codes and Standard Task Force. Mr. Basso provided perspectives of how risk-informed approaches have improved safety and enabled efficiencies. Mr. Basso also highlighted some of the work currently being undertaken by NEIs Codes and Standards Task Force, specifically in the risk-informed area. This work includes efforts related to ASME Section XI Code Case N-752, use of risk informed approaches for snubber testing, and efforts related to ASME Section III Code Case on alternate requirements for nondestructive examination and testing of items commensurate with their contribution to safety and risk, amongst other.
The last presentation for this session was provided by Mr. Eric Thornsbury, Principal Technical Leader at EPRI. Mr. Thornsbury provided an overview of EPRI activities supporting RIPB Standards. These include EPRIs evaluation of risk analysis methods and tools for advanced reactors. As part of this effort EPRI has evaluated the readiness of current PRA methods and tools for use in Advanced Reactors and identified technical gaps that can be resolved through EPRI research. Further EPRI has developed a research roadmap to guide EPRI research in this area over the next several years to ensure readiness of PRA methods and tools for Advanced Reactor community implementation.
Session 4: Development of Standards for Artificial Intelligence Systems Session 4 was chaired by Luis Betancourt, Branch Chief, Accident Analysis Branch, Division of Systems Analysis in RES. The session opened with remarks by Victor Hall, Deputy Division Director, Division of Systems Analysis, in RES.
The first presentation for this session was provided by Ms. Elham Tabassi, Senior Research Scientist at NIST and the Associate Director for Emerging Technologies in the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL). Ms. Tabassi discussed NISTs artificial intelligence (AI) risk management framework (RMF) The AI RMF is a voluntary resource for organizations designing, developing, deploying, or using AI systems to manage AI risks and promote trustworthy and responsible AI. It was developed with consideration of feedback from more than 200 organizations, and it provides a structured way of discussions about AI, AI reasoning, and AI trustworthiness. In addition to the AI RMF, NIST released the AI RMF Playbook which contains
detail guidance, including suggested actions, available standards that could be used for the implementation of AI, and recommendations for transparency, amongst other. The Playbook is anticipated to be updated every six months. NIST has also established a Generative AI Public Working Group, launched in June 2023. The Working Group is currently developing four sets of guidelines including guidelines for verification and validation pre-deployment, digital content provenance, incident disclosure, and governance of generative AI. These guidelines are anticipated to be available by early 2024.
Ms. Tabassis presentation was followed by a presentation from Mr. Jason Talley, Senior Program Manager for DOEs Artificial Intelligence and Technology Office (AITO). Mr. Talley provided an overview of DOEs AI Risk Management Playbook (RMP). The AI RMP is a comprehensive reference guide for AI risk identification with recommended mitigations to support responsible and trustworthy (R&T) AI use and development. The Playbook features a dynamic system (on the web) with 141 unique risks and mitigation techniques with the ability to expand easily and continuously. It also features intelligent search capabilities that enables the filtering of information according to lifecycle stage, assets, as well as mapping to project roles, amongst other, and it is built consistent with Executive Order 13960. Future developments for DOEs AI RMP include the addition of new risks and mitigation techniques, new search capabilities, and eventual integration with the NISTs AI RMF, amongst other.
Mr. Talleys presentation was followed by a presentation from Dr. Ahmad Al Rashdan, Senior Scientist at INL. Dr. Al Rashdan discussed considerations for the development of a standards-compatible AI. Dr. Al Rashdan highlighted a number of projects being pursued by INL intended to support the creation of technology and enabling automation, including use of AI technologies such as Computer Vision Machine Learning (CVML) for fire watching applications and Gauge Reading. CVML models often utilize open-source datasets and feature extraction engines or models. It is not always possible to determine the level of overlap among open-source datasets.
Open-source models could use similar fundamental concepts. This impacts the independence of the developed CVML models. This situation is one that calls for the development of methods that are standards compatible.
Mr. Al Rashdans presentation was followed by a presentation from Dr. Trey Hathaway, Reactors Systems Engineer at the NRC. Dr. Hathaway discussed ongoing standard development efforts related to AI for Nuclear Facilities. Dr. Hathaway highlighted the work under IEC Subcommittee 45A, Working Group 12. The work of this committee started earlier this year on August 2023 and the working group is composed of a multi-disciplinary international team that includes NRC staff. The tasks of the working group include, develop, and maintain standards and reports for AI applications in nuclear facilities, provide guidance to stakeholders developing, deploying, and overseeing AI applications for nuclear facilities, and cover fundamental characteristics of AI of nuclear facility applications, amongst other. The working group anticipates meeting with other working groups at the IEC General Meeting in October 2023 to discuss cross-cutting areas.
The last presentation for this session was provided by Mr. Thiago Seuaciuc-Osorio, Principal Technical Leader at EPRI. Mr. Seuaciuc-Osorio discussed AI-Assisted Ultrasonic Inspections in the Nuclear Power Industry. Mr. Seuaciuc-Osorio highlighted that machine learning tools can potentially assist in the analysis of the inspection related data and therefore EPRI is developing auto-analysis tools to assist in ultrasonic flaw inspections. To date, EPRI has completed two successful flied-trials of the auto-analysis tools related to the reactor vessel upper head penetrations, for which the AI assisted analysis was deployed in parallel with the normal field inspection process and showed very good results. Other applications that EPRI is considering
include, the inspection of dissimilar metal welds (started in September 2023) and core barrel and core shroud (starting in 2024).
The 2023 Standards Forum ended with closing remarks by Michele Sampson. The Forum facilitated the sharing of information and perspectives with ongoing standards related efforts as well as needs for further standards development and updates. Specific areas undergoing revisions and updates across multiple standards were highlighted as well as considerations for incorporation of new methods and technologies into multiple standards. The discussions were valuable to understanding areas for further collaboration across SDOs and how the NRC and stakeholder groups can be more effective in developing, updating, and meeting the codes and standards needs. The discussions during the Forum are expected to lead to standards with wide ranging support that are more easily utilized by the NRC and licensees.
