LICENSING MODERNIZATION PROJECT FOR OPERATING REACTORS Matt Humberstone June 2021
PURPOSE 1PHASE FFR Scope 2
PHASE Regulatory Support Discussion Discussion Discussion Feasibility Scope Overview Path Proposals Forward Results
FFR SCOPE
- Feasibility
- Limited Scope Phase 1
- Level 3 PRA - Internal Events
- Expanded Insights
- More Event Sequences
- Level 3 PRA - External Phase 2 Events
OBJECTIVES: LMP for Operating Reactors 1 Limited Resource 2 4 project to support 3
future NRC needs 5 jumped over the lazy Yes, the LMP methodology is feasible for LWRs dog. LMP Feasibility Used the LMP methodology with the L3PRA Pilot LMP methodology model results Identified LMP challenges (Centerline Identify Issues/Challenges dose, crediting evacuations, accident family limitations, etc.)
Use L3PRA results LWR safety profile in-line with NLWR target Risk-Insights on LWRs Shared Progress/Results
- RMT briefing
- OEDO Communicate
- ACRS briefing
- Final Report
- PSA paper
- RIC digital exhibit
- Two-pager

Reports/Papers LMP Methodology
- Final Report can be used beyond Insights for
- PSA paper the original intent NLWR licensing
- Two pager Operating Communication Reactor Safety
- RMT briefing Insights
- ACRS briefing
- PWROG briefing
- OEDO
- RIC digital exhibit NWLR Licensing Insight
- Understand LMP upfront Opportunities
- 30-day TEDE, EAB, etc.
- NLWR Licensing LMP Challenges
- Risk-Informing CH 15
- Is TEDE the centerline maximum dose? (averaged???) Accident Analysis
- Is evacuation ignored?
- Licensing
- Limitations on accident families?
- Oversight Operating Reactors
- In-line with NLWR guidance
- Consistent with historical PHASE 1 CONCLUSIONS perspective
Communication: Slide 5 PHASE 2 L3PRA A EXPANDED INSIGHTS External Events FLEX ACCIDENT Sequence Review B SEQUENCES Deeper Understanding Uncertainty
RES SUPPORT (LMP use in regulatory framework)
Risk-Informed Now Regulator
- Rely on deterministic PROPOSALS
- Risk-Inform CH 15 analysis
- Rely on risk-insights approaches
- 2 Approaches
- More efficient reviews
- May not explicitly rely on
- NLWR Licensing Support
- Focus on risk-significant risk-insights accidents
- Develop tools to better focus on risk-significant 14aspects
CH 15 Accident Analysis Research Options
- Use LMP F-C chart
- Categorize accidents
- Distance from the F-C Approach 1 target
- Map consequences to Level 1/LERF risk metrics
- Find Correlations Approach 2
- Use Level 1/LERF risk metrics to categorize
NEXT STEPS/QUESTIONS PHASE 2 of the LMP for Operating Reactors A B Program Office Engagement Continue Communication Effort
- Briefings
- Conferences C
