II. Discussion
In the Staff Requirements Memorandum for SECY-11-0140,
``Enhancements to the Fuel Cycle Oversight Process,'' dated January 5,
2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120050322), the Commission directed the NRC
staff to develop a Revised Fuel Cycle Oversight Process (RFCOP). A
portion of the RFCOP is the identification of cornerstones. The
cornerstones are those aspects of licensee performance that are
important to the mission and, therefore, merit regulatory oversight.
The draft cornerstone technical document defines the cornerstones that
will be used in the RFCOP and defines for each cornerstone, its
objective and key
[[Page 33304]]
attributes that implement the objective. Each key attribute has one or
more inspectable areas. Inspectable areas are those aspects of the
physical facility or the licensee's programs or processes that need to
be verified to assure that a key attribute of a cornerstone is
achieved.
The NRC is soliciting public comment on its draft cornerstone
technical document that will be used as a portion of the RFCOP. The NRC
staff will consider any public comments prior to finalizing the
cornerstone technical document for the RFCOP.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of June 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Marissa Bailey,
Director, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards and Environmental
Review, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
