Enhancing Acceptance of Risk-Informed Decision-Making Mike Franovich Director, Division of Risk Assessment Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Successes In Leveraging RIDM

• Agency-wide application of BeRiskSMART

• Digital I&C Common-Cause Failure

• NuScale SDAA review

• ATF/Increased Enrichment Rulemaking

• RIPE Updates

• SPAR-DASH - dashboard for NRC PRA models

Facilitating Decisions Through Inclusive Dialog RIDM Principles Communication Tool - a space for all views - NRC pilot on an SMR review Principle 1: Meets current regulations or exemption requested Basis

Principle 2: Consistent with the defense-in-depth philosophy Basis Principle 3: Maintains sufficient safety margins Basis

Principle 4: Increases in risk is small and consistent with the intent of the Commissions Safety Goal Policy Statement Basis

Principle 5: Performance measurement strategies available for monitoring Basis

Not Met Partially Met Met

• We continue to strive to increase the use of RIDM in our work

• Positive change management activities are a must - it's not a one and done effort!

• RIDM 2.0 offers workshops/training opportunities and highlights RIDM accomplishments.

• It's critical that we have a framework that provides an opportunity to bring everybody to the table to help make the right risk decision for the organization.
