Regulatory Audit in Support of Review of Electric Power Research Institute EPRI Report 3002032184, U.S. Industry Performance Monitoring Inspection Plan for Select ASME Code Examination Items of PWR Steam Generators and Pressurizers (EPID L-2025-TOP-0024 Attachments:

By letter dated June 19, 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML25171A128), Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) submitted Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) Technical Report titled U.S. Industry Performance Monitoring [(PM)] Inspection Plan for Select ASME [American Society of Mechanical Engineers] Code Examination Items of PWR
[Pressurized Water Reactor] Steam Generators [SG] and Pressurizers [PZR] (TR or the NDE Optimization TR) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and approval. The PM Inspection Plan presents a comprehensive, U.S. PWR fleet-wide inspection plan for the SG and PZR components to address the NRCs requirement for PM. By email dated July 18, 2025 (ML25174A097), the NRC staff accepted the EPRIs NDE Optimization TR for review.
The NRC staff reviewed the EPRIs TR and determined that a regulatory audit would assist in the timely completion of the NRC staffs review. The NRC staff will conduct a virtual regulatory audit to support its review of EPRIs NDE Optimization TR in accordance with the enclosed audit plan.
The NRC staff will conduct the audit to increase its understanding of the application and identify information that will require docketing to support the NRC staffs regulatory findings. The NRC staff plans to conduct the audit virtually at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, via a vendor-established electronic portal and NRC-established Teams Meeting. However, should the NRC staff determine that an in-person audit would be a more efficient method to conduct the audit and gather needed information, the NRC staff may use that approach in addition to the virtual audit.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email at lois.james@nrc.gov.
