Background

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is continuing its review of the SHINE Medical Technologies, LLC (SHINE) operating license application, submitted by letter dated July 17, 2019 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML19211C044), as supplemented by letters dated November 14, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19337A275), March 27, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20105A295), and August 28, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20255A027). This regulatory audit is intended to assist the NRC staff in its review of geotechnical engineering topics described in the SHINE final safety analysis report (FSAR), submitted as part of SHINEs operating license application.

Regulatory Bases for the Audit The purpose of this audit is to support the NRC staffs review of the licensees geotechnical engineering topics in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations and applicable guidance.

Regulatory Scope for the Audit The NRC staff will review the SHINE FSAR, technical specification (TS) requirements, and supporting reference documentation related to SHINE geotechnical engineering topics. This audit will provide information necessary to continue the NRC staffs evaluation of the SHINE operating license application. In addition, the regulatory audit may identify additional information that will be required to be docketed to support the basis of the licensing decision and will allow NRC staff to more efficiently gain insights on the operating license application. To support this audit, the NRC staff will review documentation and participate in teleconference and video conference discussions with the applicant.

Information Needed for the Audit Enclosure 1

2 SHINE should be prepared to support the NRC staff by having a copy of SHINEs FSAR, including information related to SHINEs geotechnical engineering topics readily available.

Additionally, the licensee should be prepared to provide supporting documents and reports to support the analysis documented in the FSAR, bases for TSs, or rationale for any required plans and procedures, as necessary.

Audit Team The NRC staff performing this audit will be:

Steven Lynch, Senior Project Manager Zuhan Xi, Geotechnical Engineer Amit Ghosh, Geotechnical Engineer Audit Team Logistics The audit will take place on March 16, 2021. The audit may be extended, as needed, until the NRC staff has an adequate understanding of the issues to be addressed to facilitate the continued review of the operating license application. Audit activities may be conducted as teleconferences and video conferences, as appropriate and efficient to the gathering of information by the NRC staff. Additional audit activities may be planned in advance, as necessary, to support the understanding of information necessary to facilitate the continued review of the operating license application.

Deliverables At the completion of the regulatory audit the NRC staff will issue requests for additional information within 30 days after the audit and issue a regulatory audit summary within 90 days after the audit. The regulatory audit summary will include the documents reviewed and the audit activities performed.
