The NRC is sponsoring public workshops on the instrumentation and controls (I&C) licensing for advanced reactors to discuss topics selected by the NRC staff and the industry stakeholders. The workshops are part of the agency’s efforts to make the safety reviews of advanced reactor licensing applications safety-focused, risk-informed, and performance-based. This workshop will be a continuation of topics covered in previous workshops held on February 23, 2023, March 16, 2023, and April 04, 2023. This workshop will continue discussions on several topics related to the implementation of the Licensing Modernization Project (LMP) in Regulatory Guide 1.233 for the I&C design and the use of the Design Review Guide (DRG) for non-light-water reactors (non-LWRs) and other areas of interest including the NRC staff’s path forward for non-LWRs to address the Commission’s expanded policy on digital I&C common cause failures.
