NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[NRC–2010–0230]
Construction Reactor Oversight
Process Request for Public Comment
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of opportunity for public
comment.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) staff is reconsidering
the Construction Reactor Oversight
Process (cROP), including the
construction assessment process, as
presented in IMC 2505, ‘‘Periodic
Assessment of Construction Inspection
Program Results,’’ in order to propose
policy options to the Commission to
revise the oversight process. The staff
proposal will include program oversight
currently included as part of the
Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and
Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) monitoring
and closure processes, and evaluate the
inclusion of objective performance
monitoring elements such as
construction program Performance
Indicators (PIs) and a Significance
Determination Process (SDP) analogous
to those used in the Reactor Oversight
Process (ROP) for the current operating
reactor fleet.
DATES: The comment period expires
August 9, 2010. Comments received
after this date will be considered if it is
practical to do so, but the Commission
is able to ensure consideration only for
comments received on or before this
date.
You may submit comments
by any one of the following methods.
Please include Docket ID NRC–2010–
0230 in the subject line of your
comments. Comments submitted in
writing or in electronic form will be
posted on the NRC Web site and on the
Federal rulemaking Web site
Regulations.gov. Because your
comments will not be edited to remove
any identifying or contact information,
the NRC cautions you against including
any information in your submission that
you do not want to be publicly
disclosed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NRC staff
are currently developing options and a
recommendation to the Commission for
a revised oversight process for new
reactor construction with the objective
of developing a risk-informed and
performance based process, resulting in
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
a more objective, predictable, and
transparent process for licensees and
members of the general public. To meet
these objectives, the NRC staff is
undertaking a comprehensive effort to
develop a Construction Reactor
Oversight Process using risk-informed
and performance based tools. The NRC
staff’s efforts will be consistent with the
recent Commission guidance in this
area, notably the guidance provided in
the Staff Requirements Memoranda
(M081022) dated December 5, 2008
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System [ADAMS]
Accession No. ML083400193).
In SECY–09–0113, ‘‘Update on the
Development of Construction
Assessment Process Policy Options and
the Construction Inspection Program
Information Management System,’’
dated August 14, 2009 (Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System Accession No. ML091970152),
the NRC staff updated the Commission
on the development of construction
assessment process policy options.
Following the issuance of SECY–09–
0113, the staff formed a cROP team in
December 2009 with representatives
from each regional office, the Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation, the Office
of Nuclear Security and Incident
Response, and the Office of New
Reactors. Team members offer a cross
section of experience including
personnel with extensive experience in
developing and implementing the ROP.
Through public workshops and
stakeholder interactions, the cROP team
is developing options for a cROP with
elements similar to those used in the
ROP. Specifically, the team is
identifying the objectives, attributes,
and activities that a construction
oversight process would need to
adequately and objectively assess
licensee performance, as well as the
sources of information necessary to
support the assessment. These attributes
include the application of thresholds to
determine the significance of findings, a
viable means to ensure appropriate NRC
response to degrading licensee
performance, and the assessment of
licensee safety culture.
In SECY–10–0038, ‘‘Update Status on
the Development of Construction
Reactor Oversight Process Options,’’
dated April 2, 2010 (Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System Accession No. ML100550490),
the NRC staff provided the Commission
with an additional update on staff’s
progress toward the development of
construction oversight process options
for Commission consideration.
In order to ensure all stakeholder
input is considered during development
