2015 Presentation on Impractical Relief Requests In 2015 the NRC prepared a presentation that covered issues that commonly resulted in Requests for Additional Information (RAIs)

What has changed since 2015?

The quality of impractical relief requests has improved substantially This improvement has resulted in fewer RAIs, but has not eliminated them Many RAIs are based on missing information or errors the submittal Some RAIs are related to issues that makes justifying reasonable assurance of leak tightness and structural integrity more challenging 3

Themes in RAIs Since 2015 Welds with low coverage may get extra scrutiny Some RAIs are in response to operating experience welds with new issues may get more questions Some RAIs address inconsistencies in submittals, such as including information on some welds but not others A review of recent RAIs did not find a strong common issue that resulted in many RAIs 4
