SUMMARY

REPORT ON THE REGULATORY AUDIT OF TOPICAL REPORT, TP-LIC-RPT-0005, "RADIOLOGICAL RELEASE CONSQUENCES METHODOLOGY TOPICAL REPORT," REVISION 0 (EPID NO. L-2023-TOP-0055)

Dear George Wilson:

By letter dated November 6, 2023, TerraPower, LLC (TerraPower) submitted topical report (TR)

Radiological Release Consequences Methodology Topical Report, Revision 0 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML23311A138) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff for review. The TR contains an overview and description of the model developed to evaluate radiological release consequences for the Natrium sodium fast reactor design. On December 18, 2023, the NRC staff performed a completeness determination and found that the material presented in the TR provides technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to conduct a detailed technical review (ML23333A070).

Enclosed is a summary report on the regulatory audit conducted by the NRC staff in connection with its ongoing review of the TR. The audit followed the plan dated April 24, 2024 (ML24103A224).

The audit summary report does not make any licensing conclusions or findings, but it is part of the administrative record of the NRC staffs review of the TR and may provide information supporting the NRC staffs safety evaluation. No requests for additional information were identified as part of the audit and there are no open items resulting from the audit. However, by letter dated July 26, 2024, TerraPower submitted a revision to the TR, renumbered as NAT-9391, Radiological Release Consequence Methodology Topical Report, Revision 0 (ML24208A181) to address the results of the audit. The report constitutes the final report on the audit.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (301) 415-5301 or via email at Stephanie.Devlin-Gill@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Stephanie Devlin-Gill, Senior Project Manager Advanced Reactor Licensing Branch 1 Division of Advanced Reactors and Non-Power Production and Utilization Facilities Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Project No.: 99902100
