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.
By email dated December 8, 2025 (ML25211A269), the NRC staff issued a regulatory audit plan to conduct an audit associated with the review of EPRI NDE Optimization TR in accordance with the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Reactor Office Instruction (OI) LIC-111, Regulatory Audits, Revision 2, effective October 1, 2024 (ML24309A281). The purpose of the audit is for the staff to gain a better understanding of EPRIs U.S. PWR-fleet-wide inspection plan for SGs and PZRs components to address the NRCs requirement for PM during the extended relief period.
The NRC staff is updating its audit plan to include specific questions for discussion in an Appendix to the audit plan.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email at lois.james@nrc.gov.
