License Amendment Request Workshop Outcomes

On May 29, 2024 NRC staff met with industry licensing representatives in a discussion on licensing best practices and lessons learned.

Key topics: Pre application meetings and work planning, Requests for Additional Information, Draft Safety Evaluations, and Audits

NRC Actions after the meeting.

Document and consolidated best practices for Preapplication Meetings

Reinforce Process Discipline in Licensing Process, including RAIs, Draft SE w/

holes

Encourage leveraging Integrated Review Teams and Risk-Informed Decisions

The Regulatory Issues Task Force reviewed annual and cyclic reporting requirements since the inception of the Reactor Oversight Process and identified:

9 annual and cyclic reporting requirements for potential elimination without an impact to safety.

Implementation of the recommendation would result in a reduction of ~425 low value, low safety significance reports to the NRC/year.

The Retrospective Review of Administrative Requirements and Revision of Administrative Requirements Rulemaking (RROAR) and related correspondence was reviewed to determine what, if any, consideration was given to these reports.

RROAR has been pending before the Commission since 2021 and was limited in scope

- did not consider all reporting requirements.

Review of Annual and Cyclic Reporting

Recommend review of the safety significance, value, and expended resources in the submittal and processing of the reports.

The ADVANCE Act presents a great opportunity to implement efficiency considerations in reporting requirements and NRC should pursue rulemaking to eliminate the reporting requirements.

NEI plans to formalize this recommendation via a letter to the NRC in early 2025.
