Presentation Outline

  • Purpose & Objectives
  • Background
  • Accomplishments
  • Overview: NRC I&C Licensing Infrastructure
  • Overview: NRC I&C Staff Review Guidance
  • I&C Regulatory Infrastructure Technical Areas
  • Mapping between regulations and guidance
  • Look Ahead
  • Closing Remarks 2

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

Accomplishments Since Sept. 2021 ACRS Briefing on Digital I&C (DI&C) Infrastructure and Licensing Activities

  • Issued guidance for verifying a DI&C items dependability critical characteristics based on an accredited certification during the dedicating process
  • Issued SECY-22-0076 to expand the DI&C common-cause failure policy
  • Issued DG-1374 (RG 1.152, Rev. 4) to endorse IEEE Std 7-4.3.2-2016
