II. Background This interim staff guidance (ISG) is intended to provide guidance for NRC staff reviewing applications involving fuel products with chromium-coated zirconium alloy cladding. For coated claddings of this type, a phenomena identification and ranking table (PIRT) was generated for the NRC by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; the guidance provided in this ISG extensively references the PIRT report, ‘‘Degradation and Failure Phenomena of Accident Tolerant Fuel Concepts: Chromium Coated Zirconium Alloy Cladding,’’ issued June 2019. The VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Oct 23, 2019 Jkt 250001 suggested cladding properties specified acceptable fuel design limits and new failure mechanisms sections from the PIRT are replicated in Appendices B and C. These appendices supersede Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the PIRT report. This ISG is not intended as standalone review guidance, but instead supplements NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard Review Plan,’’ Section 4.2, ‘‘Fuel System Design,’’ and discusses the potential impact of coated claddings on reviews performed under Standard Review Plan (SRP), Section 4.3, ‘‘Nuclear Design,’’ Section 4.4, ‘‘Thermal and Hydraulic Design,’’ and Chapter 15, ‘‘Transient and Accident Analysis.’’ In addition to the guidance provided in this ISG, reviewers of coated cladding applications should familiarize themselves with the PIRT report and with the relevant sections of the SRP. The PIRT report and this ISG focus primarily on metallic chromium coatings applied to a zirconium alloy base metal, with some additional discussion that is applicable to chromium-based ceramic coatings. Reviewers of submittals on ceramic chromium-coated zirconium alloy claddings should carefully read the PIRT to determine the applicability to the review. This ISG does not apply to reviews of fuel products other than metallic or ceramic chromium-based coatings on a zirconium alloy substrate. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of October, 2019. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Tekia V. Govan, Project Manager, ROP Support and Generic Communication Branch, Division of Inspection and Regional Support, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
