Results of Ranking 8
 
Results of Ranking
* Tier 1
    - Annual Frequency and minimum of 90 hours
    - Benefit from team inspections
* Tier 2
    - Biennial Frequency and minimum of 60 hours
    - Benefit from team inspections
* Tier 3
    - Triennial Frequency and minimum of 30 hours
    - Included range of hours (30 - 60)
* Corrective Action Program
    - Frequency changes for some Tier 2 and Tier 3 inspection areas 9
 
Recommendations
* In-depth assessment of resident inspector IPs
* Increase effort on chemical safety
* Frequencies and resources
    - Tier 1 areas - annual inspection frequency and a minimum of 90 hours.
    - Tier 2 areas - biennial inspection frequency and a minimum of 60 hours.
    - Tier 3 areas - triennial inspection frequency and a minimum of 30 hours (30-60) 10
 
Recommendations
* Frequency reduction for Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas for facilities with NRC-approved CAP
* Flexibility - allowed variance in core hours
* Incorporation of OpE and Self-assessments into program 11
 
Next Steps
* No decision has been made
* March 10, 2020: Regulatory Information Conference Session
* March 31, 2020: Issuance of report and final decision
* April-December 2020: Implementation of changes to inspection guidance
* January 2021: Implementation of inspections using updated inspection guidance 12

Agenda
* Review approach and scope
* Results
    - Recommendations
    - Prioritization
* Next Steps
* Questions 19
 
Review approach and scope Objective: Identify areas that would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Fuel Cycle Licensing Program
* Working Group members from fuel cycle, spent fuel, and NRR
* Stakeholder engagement
    - Held numerous public meetings
    - Proactive engagement with internal and external stakeholders
    - Received multiple letters: NEI and UUSA 20
 
Results 37 Suggestions
* Considered principles of good regulation (Openness, Clarity, Efficiency, Reliability, Independence)
* Considered additional working group insights
* Identified recommended actions to address suggestions
* Prioritized individual suggestions (using 3-step process)
    - Recognize that many suggestions are inter-related and should be implemented together 21
