security, and environmental protection
mission, without imposing unnecessary
regulatory burden. This requires the
NRC to consider the effects of a more
dynamic domestic environment and a
globalized non-LWR industry.
Furthermore, the NRC recognizes the
benefits of having a flexible regulatory
framework, allowing potential
applicants to select a best-fit path
towards regulatory reviews and
decisions. Examples of these flexibilities
are described in the draft document.
The vision and strategy described in
the draft document, once executed, will
achieve the goal of assuring the NRC’s
readiness to effectively and efficiently
review and regulate non-LWRs, while
still protecting public health and safety,
promoting the common defense and
security, and protecting the
environment. The strategy has three
strategic objectives: Enhancing technical
readiness, optimizing regulatory
readiness, and optimizing
communication. The steps needed to
reach the readiness target are described
in a series of supporting strategies and
contributing activities, to be executed
during near-term, mid-term, and longterm timeframes. Example schedules
that help inform the vision and strategy
implementation with potential nonLWR development, application,
construction, and operation timeframes
are also discussed in the draft
document.
The NRC’s approach under this nonLWR vision and strategy consists of two
phases. Phase 1 is the conceptual
planning phase used to lay out the
vision and strategy, gather public
feedback, and finalize the NRC’s
approach. Phase 2 includes detailed
internal work planning efforts and task
execution. Both phases began in 2016.
Phase 1 is expected to be completed in
2016, and Phase 2 has a target
completion date of not later than 2025.
The NRC’s principles of good
regulation—independence, openness,
efficiency, clarity, and reliability—are
embodied in this vision and strategy.
While the NRC does not promote any
particular reactor technology, its
responsibilities as a regulator include
working effectively with all
stakeholders, clearly communicating its
requirements, and providing regulatory
information and feedback in a timely
manner. Achieving this non-LWR
readiness goal should also provide
significant regulatory certainty to the
non-LWR industry, potential applicants,
and other stakeholders.
The NRC encourages all interested
parties to comment on the draft nonLWR vision and strategy document,
particularly on the near-term non-LWR

regulatory review options. Stakeholder
feedback will be valuable in helping the
NRC develop a final non-LWR vision
and strategy that has the benefit of
considering the many views of the
public and the regulated industry. The
NRC will consider the comments
submitted and may use them, as
appropriate, in the preparation of the
final document; however, the NRC does
not anticipate responding to individual
comments.
