• Review Schedule Impacts:

6 months extension of the submittal date for the electrical and I&C information High Impact Technical Items - 14 of 20 methodology requests for additional information need supplemental information for resolution On January 20, 2024 (ML24020A010), TRISO-X informed the NRC of plans to submit a revised license application by December 31, 2024, to process alternate types of uranium feed stock

The Gantt chart will be updated to more accurately represent the status of review.

The scope of revisions depends on:

1) Resolution of the High Impact Technical Issues (HITI),

2) Progress on the detailed technical reviews, and

3) The supplemental license application to support a new fuel feed source.

High Impact Technical Items (HITI) Ta b The HITIs include 20 methodology issues identified for the Integrated Safety Analysis Summary/Criticality, Management Measures and Quality Assurance, Human Factors, and Structural portions of the license application.

Status of work on the HITIs is as follows:

• 6 items are resolved

• 12 items are moving toward resolution based on discussions and awaiting written responses

• 2 items remain unresolved

The detailed electrical review is in progress Path Forward for the TRISO-X License Application Review

The original 30- month review schedule will be adjusted to allow for resolution of the HITIs and the review of the TRISO-X supplement to the license application in December 2024.

The NRC staff plans to issue a revised schedule letter for TRISO-X in the summer of 2024.

The NRC dashboard will be updated to reflect the revised schedule once the updated reschedule letter is issued.
