Meeting Summary At NEIs request, the NRC staff continued discussion on the opportunities to use risk insights in the application of 10 CFR 50.59. NEI staff shared clarifications and improvement ideas related to the industrys 10 CFR 50.59 guidance in NEI 96-07, responded to several NRC staff questions from the October 8, 2020 public meeting and discussed next steps (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession No. ML20336A062).

The NRC staffs presentation slides and the draft IMC 0335 can be found at ADAMS Accession Nos. ML20335A518 and ML20325A150 respectively.

Close to 50 participants from the NRC staff, the nuclear industry, and members of the public engaged in dialog with NEI on their proposed approach. Staff and participants asked clarifying questions and NEI provided the staff with preliminary feedback on draft IMC 0335.
