Control Rod Drive Mechanism (CRDM) Vessel Head Penetration (VHP) Nozzle Cracking

Meeting

On February 20, 2002, the staff met with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), Materials Reliability

Program (MRP), Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), various utility representatives, and

other stakeholders to discuss progress on establishment of a CRDM action plan and the status

of industry progress on a variety of associated technical issues. A portion of the meeting was

closed due to presentation of proprietary information. A second meeting was held on

February 21 to continue more in-depth technical discussion between industry and NRC experts

on a variety of issues. The goal of the action plan and industry efforts is to develop and

implement a long term strategy to address the VHP nozzle cracking.

Public Meeting on Consideration of 10 CFR 50.55a In Risk-Informed 10 CFR 50.69 Rule

On February 21, 2002, the NRC staff held a public meeting with stakeholders to discuss the

consideration of 10 CFR 50.55a in the development of 10 CFR 50.69 as part of Option 2 of the

NRCís effort to risk inform the regulations. The NRC regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a incorporate

by reference Sections III and XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPV Code)

and the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code), and

also certain IEEE standards. Participants at the meeting included NRC staff, ASME and

Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) representatives, and members of the public. The purpose of the

meeting was to gather information that will assist the NRC staff in reaching a decision on

whether to (1) reduce unnecessary burden in the implementation of 10 CFR 50.55a for low-risk

safety-related structures, systems, and components (SSCs) through use of the ASME riskinformed Code Cases, or (2) exempt low-risk safety-related SSCs from the 10 CFR 50.55a

requirements and rely on the 50.69 rule language for treatment of these SSCs. The NRC staff

presented an overview of the Option 2 effort and the status of the 50.69 rulemaking. The

ASME representatives stated that, at this time, ASME does not have a single position on the

consideration of 10 CFR 50.55a in the 50.69 rulemaking, because of the significant differences

of opinion among its members on the issue in terms of safety and burden. ASME plans to

develop a position following issuance of the proposed 50.69 rule for public comment. ASME is

continuing to prepare Code Cases to reduce unnecessary burden on licensees for low-risk

safety-related SSCs. NEI considers the requirements in 10CFR 50.55a to represent an

unnecessary burden for licensees and NRC. NEI believes the proposed requirements in the

draft 50.69 rule provide sufficient regulatory assurance for low-risk safety-related SSCs. The

NRC staff will consider the information obtained during the public meeting in preparing the 

proposed 10 CFR 50.69 rule for public comment.

Issuance of Orders to all Operating Power Reactor Licensees

The NRC staff prepared Orders for all operating power reactor licensees to implement interim

safeguards and security compensatory measures. The details of the specific interim

compensatory measures are sensitive, but they include such things as more restrictive

personnel access controls, enhanced requirements for guard forces, increased stand-off
February 22, 2002 ENCLOSURE A

distances for vehicle searches, and enhanced coordination with appropriate local, State, and

Federal authorities.

Some of the interim compensatory measures in the Orders formalize security measures

detailed in the Safeguards and Threat advisories issued by the NRC following the

September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The licensees have already voluntarily implemented

many of these measures in response to the advisories. Some additional security

enhancements, which have emerged from the on-going security review, are also included as

requirements in the Orders. 

The NRC staff met with the industry Security Working Group on February 21, 2002, to discuss

the content of the Orders including the specific interim compensatory measures and issued the

the Orders on February 25, 2002.

Clark County Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Advisory Committee Meeting

On February 14, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commissionís on-site representatives attended

a public meeting of the Clark County Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Advisory Committee. The

purpose of the meeting was to present an update on Yucca Mountain related topics. The

advisory committee discussed the status of the Yucca Mountain Project, options related to the

potential site recommendation, and the expected release of the Department of Energyís Final

Environmental Impact Statement. The committee addressed license application considerations

and Yucca Mountain water rights issues. Finally, the committee discussed the recently

released Clark County Impact Assessment Report. This report provides Clark Countyís

analysis of the potential impacts resulting from the construction, operation, and closure of the

proposed high-level waste repository. The meeting provided an opportunity for the effective

exchange of information between the affected units of local government, community opinion

leaders, and local citizens.

Nuclear Energy Agency Forum on Radiological Protection of the Environment

On February 12-14, 2002, Division of Waste Management staff attended the Nuclear Energy

Agency forum, ìRadiological Protection of the Environment,î held in Taormina, Sicily. The

forum, the first in a series of three, was held in collaboration with the International Commission

on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The objective of the forum was to gather input from Nuclear

Energy Agency member countries, and other interested parties, for ICRP recommendations on

rationale for radiological protection of the environment. The ICRP report of recommendations is

proposed to be released as a draft for comment late in calendar year 2002. In addition to

representatives of member countries, forum participants included representatives of the

Nuclear Energy Institute, Greenpeace, the European Commissionís Framework for Assessment

of Environmental Impact project, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. In addition to

the NRC, other U.S. representatives included the Department of Energy and the Environmental

Protection Agency. Future forums in the series will focus on the ICRP draft report (second

forum) and the issuance of a new ICRP recommendation (third forum).

Meeting to Discuss Changes to the Mixed-Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility

On February 13, 2002, staff from the Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards met with

staff from Duke Cogema Stone & Webster (DCS), the mixed-oxide fuel fabrication facility

(MFFF) applicant, to discuss what impacts the Department of Energyís announced changes to

the Surplus Plutonium Disposition Program will have on the MFFF. DCS stated that the MFFF

will now receive approximately 6 metric tons of material that were previously planned to be

immobilized. This will require design changes to the MFFF to accommodate material having

impurities that were not included in the previous design. Additionally, high alpha and uranium

waste streams from the MFFF, previously planned to be processed through the Savannah River

Site (SRS) high-level waste tanks, will now be solidified at a SRS facility to be constructed on a

different site. DCS's revised schedule calls for submitting a supplementary or revised

environmental report (ER) and construction authorization request in October 2002. However, at
February 22, 2002 ENCLOSURE B

the meeting DCS stated that the ER may be submitted as early as August 2002. NRC staff

plan to issue the Draft Safety Evaluation Report (SER) on schedule by April 30, 2002, but will

delay issuing the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) until after a revised or

supplementary ER is submitted by DCS. The impact of the changes is expected to be greater

on the EIS than on the SER.

Meeting on Confidentiality of Nuclear Safety Information

On February 11-15, 2002, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards staff attended a

meeting at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria. The topic of the

meeting, which was convened by the IAEA Department of Nuclear Safety, was the need to

preserve the confidentiality of certain information concerning radioactive sources and nuclear

installations. The meeting participants prepared a draft report that proposed guidelines for

handling nuclear safety information that might aid someone with "malicious intent." Proposals

included expanding the existing IAEA scheme for protecting sensitive information to include

information concerning radioactive sources and nuclear installations; establishing a regime for

classifying and handling nuclear safety information, received from Member States, concerning

radioactive sources and nuclear installations; and establishing guidelines for the dissemination

of information (in view of the IAEA's mandate to support the expansion of nuclear energy by

sharing nuclear safety information). The draft paper offered examples of the type of information

that would need sensitive handling and proposed the basic elements of a classification scheme. 

A final version of the report will be presented to the IAEA Board of Governors at its next

meeting.

Meeting with Westinghouse Electric Corporation on Its Integrated Safety Analysis Plan

On February 20, 2002, staff from the Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards and the

Risk Task Group met with staff from the Westinghouse Electric Corporation (WEC) at its

uranium fuel fabrication facility in Columbia, South Carolina. The purpose of the meeting was

to discuss WECís methodology for conducting an integrated safety analysis (ISA) for its

Columbia facility. On December 5, 2001, the NRC had declined to review WECís ISA Plan due

to the fact that it proposed an inadequate ISA methodology. During the meeting, WECís

contractor, the ABS Group of Knoxville, Tennessee, described a revised ISA methodology that

will be included in the ISA Plan that WEC expects to resubmit to NRC by the end of February

2002. 

Counterpart Meeting

On February 20-21, 2002, in order to enhance communication between the Office of Nuclear

Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) and the Regional offices, Division Directors from

NMSS met with their counterparts, from the regional Divisions of Nuclear Materials Safety at

NRC Headquarters. These managers are responsible for nuclear materials, fuel cycle safety

and safeguards, waste and decommissioning, and spent fuel and transportation activities. The

participants discussed implementation strategies for a number of FY 2002-2003 program

initiatives including NRCís response to the threat of terrorism and upcoming budget issues. 

Approximately 40 managers, supervisors, and senior staff attended parts of this meeting. 

Representatives from the Offices of Human Resources, Nuclear Regulatory Research and

State and Tribal Programs also participated. This was the first of two Division Director
February 22, 2002 ENCLOSURE B

counterpart meetings scheduled to be held this year. Tentative plans call for the next meeting

to take place near the end of FY 2002.

Meeting with Department of Energy

On February 20, 2002, a meeting was held between the NRC staff and representatives of the

Department of Energy (DOE) to discuss an agreement that would result in NRC certification of

certain DOE type B transportation and fissile packages. DOE currently reviews and approves

the package design of these transportation packages. DOE is considering a reimbursable

agreement for authorizing resources to NRC to conduct these certifications. Early information

about the transfer is not adequate to reasonably predict the number of cases per year, the

timing of the agreement, or the level of effort necessary for this program. DOEís goal is to have

the agreement in place quickly.
