NFPA 805 Non-Pilot Workshop 9/29/2010

Potential Workshop Topics

Monitoring program

• What is the level of detail that a licensee must submit to NRC under Oath & Affirmation about licensee's NFPA 805 Monitoring Program?

Enforcement discretion

• Please expand upon the various enforcement discretion scenarios. For example, what can a licensee expect if they submit their LAR after their enforcement discretion period ends?

• If a licensee submits their LAR more than six months after the staff issues the SER, will the licensee receive enforcement discretion during the LAR review period?

PRA peer reviews

• The NRC performed audits of the pilots' PRAs. What level of review is the NRC expecting to do for non-pilots?

• If the NRC determines that a licensee's peer review was deficient, or the findings improperly resolved, what will the NRC do?

• How will the issue of peer reviews of then-incomplete PRA's be addressed (for example the recent peer review at Palisades the the NRC observed)?

Safe and stable

• What is the NRC's position regarding this issue?

• What information is required by the NRC regarding this issue?

• What level of detail is required?

Acceptance review process (LIC-109)

• What is the role of the NRC's acceptance review process in the NFPA 805 LAR review effort?

• Will the NRC be following this process for the non-pilots?

LAR prioritization and sequencing

• How does the NRC intend to manage the concurrent review of 20+ NFPA 805 LARs?

• Will the reviews be sequenced (as for license renewal)?

• If so, what will be the criteria for prioritization?

RAI process and SharePoint technology

NFPA 805 Non-Pilot Workshop 9/29/2010

• The pilot plants used SharePoint to assist the RAI process. Should the non-pilots expect to do the same?

License condition

• What can non-pilot licensees expect to see in their license conditions?

• Will this be different from what is in the current version of Regulatory Guide 1.205?

Implementation items (post-SE)

• How will implementation items be handled for the non-pilots?

• How will these items be finally closed-out?

New information post-LAR-submittal

• How does the NRC intend to handle new information developed after a licensee has submitted their LAR?

• If there is the possibility of re-work, how will this be resolved?

Bounds of self approval

• What are the boundaries of the post-transition self-approval process?

• Are there some changes that must receive specific NRC approval?

Unanalyzed PRA methods

• How will the NRC handle novel or previously unanalyzed PRA methods?

Fire modeling in the fire risk evaluation performance-based approach

• What information needs to be submitted to the NRC regarding fire modeling when the fire risk evaluation approach?

• What level of detail is required?

Design changes during the LAR review period

• How should potentially unrelated plant changes be addressed during the LAR review period?

• How do the power uprate and license renewal processes interact with the LAR review/transition process?

PRA Model maintenance

• What are the regulatory expectations with respect to PRA model maintenance? - Plant changes? - Method changes? - Data changes?

• What are the responsibilities of the licensee when new information leads to increases in CDF? Decreases in CDF?
