Purpose & Objectives
- Brief the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) on the NRCs I&C regulatory infrastructure mapping connecting the regulatory requirements with applicable guidance o Familiarize the ACRS with the NRCs I&C regulatory infrastructure o Communicate the staffs efforts to continue to modernize and improve clarity of the I&C regulatory infrastructure o Communicate the interrelationships between the I&C requirements, guidance, and industry standards 3
Background
- The Commission issued SRM-SECY-15-0106 (February 25, 2016) o Directed the staff to develop an integrated strategy to modernize the NRC's I&C regulatory infrastructure
- The Commission issued SRM-SECY-16-0070 (October 25, 2016) o Approved the implementation of the staffs Integrated Action Plan (IAP) to modernize the NRCs I&C regulatory infrastructure
- The staff issued SECY-19-0112 (November 2019) o Vision for modernized I&C regulatory infrastructure with reduced uncertainty that enables the expanded safe use of digital I&C
- The staff is currently implementing the vision 4
