On May 7, 2025, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML25085A352), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a public meeting with the National Organization of Test, Research, and Training Reactors (TRTR) to continue to discuss endorsement of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 23-03, Guidance on the 50.59 Process for Digital Applications. A list of attendees is provided as an enclosure to this memorandum.
During the meeting, NRC and TRTR representatives reviewed and implemented changes in response to NRC staff comments on NEI 23-03 guidance.
