Information inhis report is provided for general informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice.) (For additional information contact Bridget Curran (bridget.curran@nrc.gov)This RIS update is intended to clarify the guidance contained in previously issued RIS 2005-29. RIS 2005-29 was initially issued to discuss concerns with demonstrating that certain events would not escalate into more serious events. This IN is intended to inform addressees of recent operating experience related to numerous dryout indications which occurred over multiple cycles at the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), a BWR/6 in Switzerland. This RIS is intended to supply information to assist medical use licensees in complying with the current NRC requirements related to the use of electronic signatures in internal licensee electronic documents and to clarify what constitutes a signature on electronic documents that medical use licensees are required to sign and maintain. This RIS is intended to clarify the reporting requirements for nuclear facilities and equipment as required by 10 CFR 110.54 and the International Atomic Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards in the United States.

This information notice is being issued to reiterate the need for comprehensive evaluations of configuration changes to structures, systems and components (SSC). The staff has generated a list of questions regarding anticipated agency work in the area of accident tolerant fuels (ATF). This RIS will provide the venue for collecting that information. EDG excitation system diode failures continue to occur. This information notice is intended to inform addressees that these conditions can lead to demand/run failures and can adversely affect the ability of EDGs to perform their safety functions. This IN is intended to inform addressees of recent NRC inspection findings that have identified non-compliance with NUREGs and applicable codes and standards. This RIS is intended to inform addressees of the NRC staff's need for updated information on project site-specific operator licensing examination schedules and on the estimated number of applicants planning to take operator licensing examinations. This information will help the NRC plan its resources more effectively.

(For additional information contact Bridget Curran (bridget.curran@nrc.gov)Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) is an industry issue that was first recognized to be of significant concern at Surry in 1986. There continue to be FAC failures attributed to problems with the FAC monitoring program and its software that have caused reactor trips. The purpose of this IN is to inform affected byproduct materials licensees of the results of an evaluation that was previously conducted by NRC staff of the potential need for cyber security requirements and of effective cyber security practices for licensees' consideration. The INs enclosure will include the effective practices that provide the addressees information on contemporary cyber security issues related to the protection of digital assets, including those assets used to facilitate compliance with physical security requirements such as Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 37, "Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material."

This was issued as RIS 2018-06 on December 10, 2018. This RIS clarifies the National Source Tracking System (NSTS) Reporting requirements involving Category 1 or Category 2 sealed sources that a manufacturer identifies as bulk material.
