Meeting Purpose
- The NRC is actively soliciting comments to support the staffs development of the report to respond to Section 401
- No regulatory decisions will be made at todays meeting
- If you have not already, please register using the link in the public meeting notice 4
Opening Remarks and Background By January 2025, the NRC will submit a report to Congress that will:
Examine:
- unique licensing issues or requirements relating to the use, for nuclear energy projects, of:
- Advanced manufacturing process
- Advanced construction techniques
- Rapid improvement or iterative innovation process 5
Examine:
- Requirements for nuclear-grade components in manufacturing and construction
- Potential use of standard materials, parts, or components in manufacturing and construction
- Potential use of standard materials to support or encapsulate new materials not yet in codes
- Requirements related to the transportation of a fueled advanced nuclear reactor core 6
Identify:
- Safety aspects of advanced manufacturing processes and advanced construction techniques that are not addressed by existing codes and standards
- Based on the results of the NRCs examination:
- Options for addressing the issues, requirements, and opportunities
- How domestic nuclear manufacturing and construction developers are impacted
- Extent to which Commission action is needed for implementation 7

Section 401(c)(1)(A)
(A) examine any unique licensing issues or requirements relating to the use, for nuclear energy projects, of (i) advanced manufacturing processes; (ii) advanced construction techniques; and (iii) rapid improvement or iterative innovation processes 10
Section 401(c)(1)(B)
(B) examine (i) the requirements for nuclear-grade components in manufacturing and construction for nuclear energy projects; (ii) opportunities to use standard materials, parts, or components in manufacturing and construction for nuclear energy projects; (iii) opportunities to use standard materials that are in compliance with existing codes and standards to provide acceptable approaches to support or encapsulate new materials that do not yet have applicable codes and standards; and (iv) requirements relating to the transport of a fueled advanced nuclear reactor core from a manufacturing licensee to a licensee that holds a license to construct and operate a facility at a particular site 11
Section 401(c)(1)(C)
(C) identify safety aspects of advanced manufacturing processes and advanced construction techniques that are not addressed by existing codes and standards, so that generic guidance may be updated or created, as necessary 12
Section 401(c)(1)(D)
(D) identify options for addressing the issues, requirements, and opportunities examined under subparagraphs (A) and (B)
(i) within the existing regulatory framework; or (ii) through a new rulemaking 13
Section 401(c)(1)(E)
(E) identify how addressing the issues, requirements, and opportunities examined under subparagraphs (A) and (B) will impact opportunities for domestic nuclear manufacturing and construction developers 14
Section 401(c)(1)(F)
(F) describe the extent to which Commission action is needed to implement any matter described in the report 15
