NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Workshop To Discuss What Is or Is Not Material to the Completion 
of Inspections, Tests, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC)

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC needs to establish the basis for categorizing NRC 
inspection results during new reactor construction under 10 CFR part 
52. In order to meet that goal, the NRC is holding a workshop to 
explore stakeholder views on what types of NRC inspection results could 
call into question the completion of the ITAAC for a particular 
certified reactor design.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Goal of the Workshop

    The determination of whether a nuclear plant licensed under 10 CFR 
part 52 has been built in accordance with its design is dependent on 
the satisfactory completion by the licensee of all the related ITAAC. 
This workshop is for the NRC to understand stakeholder views on why 
various NRC inspection results may or may not be material to the 
successful completion of ITAAC. Being ``material to an ITAAC'' means 
the satisfactory completion of an ITAAC may be called into question. 
The labels and groupings previously used to describe NRC construction 
inspection results may no longer be applicable. The NRC believes it 
should listen to and understand the views of all stakeholders before 
reaching a decision on the need for any new groupings and labels to 
describe NRC construction inspection results. The NRC has made the 
examples to be discussed during the workshop available electronically 
at the Commission's Public Document Room in Rockville, Maryland or from 
the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component Agencywide Document 
Access and Management System (ADAMS) (Accession ML050870507). ADAMS can 
be accessed via the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/
adams.html (the public electronic reading room). All participants are 
encouraged to review the examples before the workshop and come prepared 
to discuss their own points of view.
    Some of the potential topics for discussion could include the 
following:
     Various interpretations of the examples.
     The groupings of the examples based on materiality to 
ITAAC completion.
     The need for additional examples in order to capture all 
possible groupings.
     What makes a particular example material to ITAAC.
     The possible actions of both the NRC and a licensee for 
each grouping.
