To discuss the scope of a rulemaking approved by the Commission in the SRM for SECY-15-0002, “Proposed Updates of Licensing Policies, Rules and Guidance for Future New Reactor Applications” (ML13277A420). The staff would like to engage with the public

Specifically, the staff would welcome discussion on the following questions during the meeting:
•What elements of the Part 50 licensing process should be aligned in order to provide equivalent outcomes to licensing reviews conducted under Part 52? What elements of the Part 50 licensing process should not be aligned and why?
•What elements of the Part 52 licensing process should be changed in order to address difficulties encountered during previous licensing reviews that would result in more effective and efficient reviews for future applications?
•What transformational changes can be implemented in the Part 52 licensing process, which would result in reducing unnecessary burden on applicants, licensees, and NRC staff while maintaining NRC’s safety mission?
