NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2012-0113]
Proposed Revision 3 to Standard Review Plan, Section 19.1 on
Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment for
Risk-Informed License Amendment Requests After Initial Fuel Load
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is soliciting
public comment on NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of
Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,'' on a
proposed Revision 3 to Standard Review Plan (SRP), Section 19.1,
``Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment
for Risk-Informed License Amendment Requests After Initial Fuel Load''
(Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession
No. ML112990771). The Office of New Reactors and Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation are revising SRP Section 19.1, which updates
Revision 2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071700657) dated June 2007, to
reflect the changes as listed in the description of changes. These
changes include (1) the regulatory requirements in Title 10 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 50.71(h)(1), (h)(2), and (h)(3) for
new reactors, (2) applicability of the National Fire Protection
Association 805 transition, and (3) latest information on probabilistic
risk assessment technical adequacy for risk-informed license amendment
requests after initial fuel load. A redline document comparing Revision
2 and the current proposed Revision 3 can be found under ADAMS
Accession No. ML112990870.
The NRC staff issues Federal Register notices to facilitate timely
implementation of the current staff guidance and to facilitate
activities associated with the review of amendment applications
