II. Background 

The NRC is an independent agency 

established by the Energy 

Reorganization Act of 1974 that began 

operations in 1975 as a successor to the 

licensing and regulatory activities of the 

Atomic Energy Commission. The NRC’s 

mission is to license and regulate the 

Nation’s civilian use of radioactive 

materials to provide reasonable 

assurance of adequate protection of 

public health and safety and to promote 

the common defense and security and to 

protect the environment. Consistent 

with that mission, the NRC plans to 

develop strategic goals to address AI in 

the context of its regulatory activities. 

For the purposes of the draft AI 

Strategic Plan, AI refers to a machinebased system that can go beyond 

defined results and scenarios and has 

the ability to emulate human-like 

perception, cognition, planning, 

learning, communication, or physical 

action. The draft AI Strategic Plan 

focuses on a broad spectrum of subspecialties (e.g., natural language 

processing, machine learning, deep 

learning, etc.) which could encompass 

various algorithms and application 

examples which the NRC has not 

previously reviewed and evaluated. The 

NRC recognizes that AI technological 

maturity is rapidly evolving and usage 

is growing; therefore, NRC anticipates 

increased use of AI in NRC-regulated 

activities. 

III. Discussion 

The purpose of the AI Strategic Plan 

is to ensure the NRC’s readiness to 

review and evaluate the use of AI in 

NRC-regulated activities. The NRC 

began actively coordinating across the 

agency and nuclear industry to better 

understand activities and plans for the 

use of AI in FY 2021. The agency: (1) 

conducted an internal scan to learn the 

scope of existing NRC projects which 

may fall within this technical area, (2) 

issued a Federal Register notice (86 FR 

20744) to solicit feedback on nuclear 

industry AI activities, and (3) hosted a 

series of Data Science and AI Regulatory 

Applications Public Workshops. These 

three activities informed the 

development of the draft AI Strategic 

Plan. Based on feedback from the Data 

Science and AI Regulatory Applications 

Public Workshops, the NRC anticipates 

that the nuclear industry could begin 

deploying AI in NRC-regulated activities 

in the near future. 

The draft AI Strategic Plan considers 

machine learning, natural language 

processing, robotics process automation, 

and deep learning to be subsets of AI. 

In practice, the term AI describes 

various activities which range from data 

collection and analyses to support 

human decisionmaking to fully 

autonomous systems that can learn 

without human intervention or 

oversight. The AI Strategic Plan would 

contribute to regulatory certainty by 

ensuring continued NRC readiness to 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
39876 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 5, 2022 / Notices 

review the use of AI in NRC-regulated 

activities. 

The draft AI Strategic Plan establishes 

five strategic goals to ensure the 

agency’s readiness to review the use of 

AI in NRC-regulated activities. The five 

strategic goals are: (1) ensure NRC 

readiness for regulatory decisionmaking, 

(2) establish an organizational 

framework to review AI applications, (3) 

strengthen and expand AI partnerships, 

(4) cultivate an AI proficient workforce, 

and (5) pursue use cases to build an AI 

foundation across the NRC. 

IV. Requested Information and 

Comments 

The NRC is interested in obtaining 

input from stakeholders, including 

professional organizations, and 

interested individuals. The focus of the 

request is to gather information that will 

permit the NRC staff to develop and 

refine the draft AI Strategic Plan. The 

NRC welcomes comments from the 

public on any areas that they believe are 

relevant to these topics, and is 

particularly interested in receiving 

input on the following questions: 

1. Are there any specific 

recommendations or improvements to 

consider in the development of the AI 

Strategic Plan? 

2. What goals, objectives, or strategies 

within the NRC’s current strategic plan 

should be added, enhanced, or modified 

in the AI Strategic Plan? 

3. What are potential near-term, or farterm, AI activities that the NRC should 

be aware when finalizing and 

prioritizing the AI Strategic Plan, or 

associated supporting research? 

4. What are potential challenges the 

NRC should be aware when preparing to 

review potential use of AI in nuclear 

applications? 

V. Public Meeting Information 

The NRC staff will hold a virtual 

public meeting on August 3, 2022, to 

receive comments on the draft AI 

Strategic Plan. A telephone line will 

also be used for the public to submit 

oral comments. A court reporter will be 

recording all comments received during 

the webinar and the transcript of the 

meeting will be made publicly available. 

Additionally, the NRC will discuss the 

agency’s activities related to the 

development of the AI Strategic Plan or 

supporting activities for public input 

and comment on these activities and 

will continue to seek the views of 

stakeholders in identifying 

opportunities to improve the underlying 

strategic plan. The date and time for the 

virtual public meeting is as follows:
