The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a public workshop May 26-28, at NRC 

headquarters in Rockville, Md., to discuss two preliminary draft documents containing updated 

guidance for nuclear power plant licensees in submitting applications to the agency for renewal of 

plant operating licenses. The preliminary draft documents describe methods acceptable to the NRC 

staff for implementing the license renewal requirements as well as techniques used by the NRC staff 

in reviewing license renewal applications. 

The workshop will include presentations and updates from NRC staff, representatives from 

the Nuclear Energy Institute and other interested stakeholders. Discussions will be organized by 

structural, mechanical and electrical topics. 

The public workshop will be held May 26-28 in Room T-2B3 at NRC Headquarters, 11545

register for the teleconference or Webinar. 

 The draft documents to be discussed at the workshop are: 1) an update of NUREG-1800, 

AStandard Review Plan for the Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants@

(SRP-LR); and 2) an update of NUREG-1801, AGeneric Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) Report.@ 

The updates are still in progress and are the result of multiple interactions and comments of 

stakeholders. The updates are intended to incorporate operating experience to date, and update 

aging management programs from those contained in the 2005 documents. The official revisions of 

the SRP-LR and GALL documents (Revision 2) are currently scheduled to be published before the
