SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF REVISION 1, NUREG-1520, STANDARD REVIEW PLAN FOR THE REVIEW OF A LICENSE APPLICATION FOR A FUEL CYCLE FACILITY.
Dear Ms. Schlueter:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued NUREG-1520, Standard Review Plan (SRP) for the Review of a License Application for a Fuel Cycle Facility, Revision 1. This revision updates the last official revision published on March 2002. A Federal Register Notice will also be published to inform stakeholders about the availability of the SRP. The document is now available electronically under Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number ML1013901100.
The full manuscript of NUREG-1520, Revision 1, can be found at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1520/.
The SRP has been updated to improve and enhance the guidance by providing increased clarity and definition in specific areas of the licensing program and adding additional guidance in areas where information was lacking or not suitably addressed. This effort was focused on improving both the clarity, and also consistency, of the SRP, with the Agency positions that support compliance with current regulations. The changes do not involve any new staff positions rather existing guidance has been consolidated to ensure the quality and uniformity of staff safety reviews. In addition, this revision has been reformatted and reorganized to improve the consistency within the document.
Comments received from the public, NRC Staff, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, and the industry were considered to prepare the final report. Staff considered the supplemental comments submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute in the letter dated February 1, 2010. The supplemental comments were consistent with those provided previously.
Therefore, no new issues were identified in the referenced letter that the staff had not already considered and addressed in the comment resolution matrix published in ADAMS on December 30, 2009 (ML093451424).
