Public Meeting Schedule: Meeting Details

On January 14th, the NRC staff hosted a public meeting to discuss its plan for evaluating and identifying actions for implementing the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) recommendations for enabling the efficient deployment of modern technology at nuclear power plants. During the meeting, NEI presented additional technical and regulatory justification for its recommendations. The purpose of this workshop is to have a collaborative, deep-dive discussion on specific details presented during the January 14th public meeting. Specifically, the discussion will include guidance and methods for addressing common cause failure (CCF) for modifications to safety related systems under 10 CFR 50.59, available data and operating experience for defining credible, realistic failures (e.g., CCF), and streamlining the scope of licensing actions for digital upgrades.
