Information inhis report is provided for general informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice.) (For additional information contact Erika Lee at: erika.lee@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 RIS is intended to clarify the requirements for bare metal visual examination. 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 RIS is intended to inform addressees about recent NRC findings involving vendors that provide basic components to NRC-licensed facilities for not adequately imposing the requirements of Appendix B "Quality Assurance Program Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 21, "Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance," to their suppliers in the procurement documents. 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. This information notice is being issued to reiterate the need for comprehensive evaluations of configuration changes to structures, systems and components (SSC). This information notice is being issued to notify addressees of incomplete documentation regarding armed responder duties and responsibilities.

(For additional information contact Erika Lee at: erika.lee@nrc.gov)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.

This RIS is being withdrawn because, following consideration of external stakeholder comments, staff determined that the RIS did not provide the clarification intended regarding licensees' required reporting of human performance incidents. This was issued as RIS 2018-04 on September 11, 2018. This draft RIS, which was published for public comment in the Federal Register on May 17, 2016, is being withdrawn because public interactions to date between NRC staff and industry have adequately communicated the issues identified by the staff to the industry. The NRC will continue to follow up on these issues via the reactor oversight process. Management determined that since industry will be taking the necessary action, issuance of a RIS will not be necessary. This was issued as IN 2018-11 on September 24, 2018.
