Market Dominant Price Adjustment, 62896-62897 [2022-22433]

However, the staff also notes that such identification of EOCs is generally expected to apply to a PRA developed for the operational phase of a plant’s lifecycle. This is based on the premise that there is expected to be a general lack of available, relevant information that would allow meaningful identification of EOCs in preoperational stages of a plant’s lifecycle. Related staff guidance on the treatment of such EOCs during pre-operational phases of a plant’s lifecycle is currently under development. A comment states that EOCs are already captured in FHR–A1 at CC–II for fires where operating experience supports consideration of spurious signals. Therefore, the comment notes that the RG 1.247 position on HR–E4 requiring EOCs at CC–I is not internally consistent with the trial use RG position on FHR–A1 requiring EOCs only at CC– II. The comment also states that, for non-fire hazards, spurious signals should occur with low frequency and would require significant operator error due to the redundancy of information available to the operator. The staff notes that, while the consideration of spurious signals as a potential cause of an EOC is important and spurious signals may occur due to fire damage, such spurious signals are not the only reason an EOC may occur. NUREG–1880, ‘‘ATHEANA User’s Guide,’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML072130359) recommends searching for potential EOCs and the contexts that could cause them. However, while the staff maintains that other sources of EOCs should be considered for identification in CC–I of FHR–A1, the staff did not intend for new, undesired operator actions that could result from spurious indications from fire-induced failure of a single instrument to be identified to meet CC–I of FHR–A1. The staff would therefore not call for such identification as part of meeting the trial use RG. The staff notes that while the comment characterizes the staff positions as ‘‘requirements,’’ no regulatory guide establishes requirements. Rather, the exceptions and clarifications in a regulatory guide are guidance to an applicant stating elements of an acceptable method for complying with NRC regulations. Dated: October 12, 2022.
