Meeting Summary:

On July 19, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a partially closed public meeting with TerraPower to provide the NRC staff with an overview of the fuel handling system instrumentation and control (I&C) architecture for the Natrium design. Participants included representatives from TerraPower, General Electric Hitachi, Duke Energy, the Department of Energy (DOE) and members of the general public. The NRC staff conducted the meeting in accordance with NRC Management Directive 3.5, Attendance at NRC Staff-Sponsored Meetings (ML21180A271).

The NRC staff began the meeting with an introduction and explained that a portion of the meeting would be closed to the public to discuss proprietary information. During the public portion of the meeting, TerraPower gave an overview of the Natrium design including a discussion of project goals, plant overview, and graphics explaining the design. TerraPower discussed the contents of its forthcoming topical report on the fuel handling system I&C for the Natrium design. Discussion topics included the fuel handling I&C design basis, I&C process overview, and fuel handling equipment subsystems. TerraPower also discussed fuel handling system failure effects as part of the fuel handling process overview.

During the closed portion of the meeting, TerraPower provided additional details related to the fuel handling system I&C for the Natrium design. TerraPower representatives and the NRC staff discussed the next steps for future interactions regarding the Natrium reactor design.

Subsequent to the July 19, 2023, meeting, TerraPower informed the NRC staff that it would not be submitting a topical report addressing fuel handling system I&C. Rather, TerraPower determined that it would submit a technical report addressing this topic since the fuel handling system I&C architecture is not safety related.

No regulatory decisions were made as a result of this meeting.
