Background===

The NRC initially issued RG 1.188 in July 2001, which incorporated lessons learned from the review of LRAs and owners group topical reports. The guide also incorporated relevant information from NUREG-1800, Revision 0, issued July 2001 (Ref. 16) and NUREG-1801, Revision 0, issued July 2001 (Ref. 17), as well as from a summary of public comments received on those documents found in NUREG-1739, Analysis of Public Comments on the Improved License Renewal Guidance Documents, issued July 2001 (Ref. 18).

Since the initial publication of RG 1.188 in July 2001, the staff has revised both NUREG-1800 and NUREG-1801 based on experience gained from numerous LRA reviews and other insights identified by the industry and NRC. Consequently, the staff also revised RG 1.188 to reflect updates to those guidance documents. The NRC staff found Revision 6 of NEI 95-10 acceptable for use in implementing the license renewal rule, without exceptions, as discussed in RG 1.188, Revision 1, issued September 2005 (Ref. 19).

After issuance of RG 1.188, Revision 1, the nuclear power industry indicated interest in submitting applications to operate nuclear power plants for an additional 20 years beyond the initial license renewal period. As identified above in Section A of this RG, the NRC developed and published guidance documents on aging management programs that provide reasonable assurance of safe operation during operation from 60 to 80 years, in NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192. Additionally, in December 2017, the staff issued NUREG-2221, Technical Bases for Changes in the Subsequent License Renewal Guidance Documents NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192 (Ref. 20), which provides the technical bases for the changes in the guidance documents from initial license renewal to subsequent license renewal. The staff also issued NUREG-2222, Disposition of Public Comments on the Draft Subsequent License Renewal Guidance Documents NUREG-2191, and NUREG-2192, in December 2017 (Ref. 21), which provides the disposition of the public comments on the draft guidance documents for subsequent license renewal. Concurrently, the industry developed NEI 17-01 to provide guidance to utilities on implementing the license renewal rule for subsequent license renewal, incorporating lessons learned from industry experience and completing initial LRAs. The NRC endorses NEI 17-01 in this RG.

Harmonization with International Standards The NRC staff has been actively involved with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in developing and updating the IAEA International Generic Aging Lessons Learned (IGALL) program.

The development of IGALL started with NRC guidance for license renewal from GALL Revision 2, and the latest updates to IGALL used GALL-SLR technical information as the basis for many of the updates.

The NRC continues to review information from IGALL program counterparts and evaluate the need to make changes to GALL and GALL-SLR. The staff notes that the IAEA Safety Reports Series No. 82, Ageing Management for Nuclear Power Plants: International Generic Ageing Lessons Learned (IGALL), issued 2015 (Ref. 22), may provide additional useful information.

RG 1.188, Rev. 2, Page 6 Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This RG endorses the use of one or more third-party guidance documents. These third-party guidance documents may contain references to other codes, standards, or third-party guidance documents (secondary references). If a secondary reference has itself been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations as a requirement, then licensees and applicants must comply with that standard as set forth in the regulation. If the secondary reference has been endorsed in a RG as an acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement, then the standard constitutes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting that regulatory requirement as described in the specific RG. If the secondary reference has not been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations nor endorsed in a RG, then the secondary reference is neither a legally-binding requirement nor a generic NRC-approved acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement. However, licensees and applicants may consider and use the information in the secondary reference, if appropriately justified, consistent with current regulatory practice, and consistent with applicable NRC requirements.

RG 1.188, Rev. 2, Page 7 C. STAFF REGULATORY GUIDANCE This section discusses the NRC staffs regulatory position on the standard format and content of applications for renewal and subsequent renewal of operating licenses for commercial nuclear power plants. Therefore, the guidance provided in this section is expected to ensure that applicants have identified and taken (or will take) actions to ensure plant safety throughout the period of extended operation.

Specifically, such actions relate to (1) managing the effects of aging on the functionality of plant structures, systems, and components that the NRC staff has identified as requiring aging management, and (2) evaluating time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs) that the NRC staff has identified as requiring such review.

1.

Contents of a License Renewal Application or Subsequent License Renewal Application To renew a nuclear power plant operating license, an applicant must meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54. This license renewal rule establishes the procedures, criteria, and standards governing renewal of an operating license. The application must include (1) general information, (2) technical information, including an integrated plant assessment, changes to the current licensing basis, an evaluation of TLAAs, and a supplement to the plants final safety analysis report (FSAR),

(3) any necessary changes to the plants technical specifications (along with related justifications),

and (4) a supplement to the plants Environmental Report (ER).

NUREG-1801, Revision 2, provides guidance on the content of an LRA for the initial renewal of an operating license. NUREG-1800, Revision 2, provides the criteria used by the NRC staff for reviewing LRAs. NUREG-2191, Volumes 1 and 2, provides guidance on the content of an SLRA for subsequent renewal of the initial renewed operating license. NUREG-2192 provides the criteria used by the NRC staff for reviewing SLRAs. RG 4.2, Supplement 1, provides additional guidance on the format and content of the ER. Supplement 1 to NUREG-1555 provides the criteria used by the NRC staff for reviewing ERs submitted with LRAs and SLRAs.

2.

Endorsement of Nuclear Energy Institute Guidelines The NRC staff endorses Revision 6 of NEI 95-10 as acceptable for complying with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54 for preparing an initial LRA. For additional information concerning the preparation of acceptable LRAs, applicants may refer to NUREG-1800 or NUREG-1801 for operation from 40 to 60 years.

The NRC staff endorses NEI 17-01 as acceptable for complying with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54 for preparing an SLRA. For additional information concerning the preparation of acceptable SLRAs, applicants may refer to NUREG-2192 or NUREG-2191 for operation from 60 to 80 years. Applicants for initial license renewal may also follow the guidance in NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192, and they should inform the staff that they intend to do so.

Applicants may meet the intent of the license renewal rule for initial license renewal or subsequent license renewal using methods other than those described in Revision 6 of NEI 95-10 or NEI 17-01, respectively, as endorsed in this RG. However, the NRC staff will determine the acceptability of alternative methods on a case-by-case basis.

RG 1.188, Rev. 2, Page 8

3.

Selected Submission Requirements and Guidelines Applicants must submit the LRA and SLRA in accordance with 10 CFR 54.17. The following general provisions, with the corresponding regulations, also apply to filing an application for a renewed operating license:

As stated in 10 CFR 54.17(a), the application must be filed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart A; 10 CFR 50.4; and 10 CFR 50.30.

As stated in 10 CFR 54.17(c), the applicant may not submit the application to the Commission earlier than 20 years before the expiration of the operating license currently in effect.

For the timely renewal provisions of 10 CFR 2.109(b) an applicant must file a sufficient application at least 5 years before the expiration of the existing license.

As stated in 10 CFR 54.17(d), the application for a renewed license may be combined with applications for other kinds of licenses.

As stated in 10 CFR 54.17(e), the application may incorporate by reference information contained in previous applications for licenses or license amendments, statements, correspondence, or reports filed with the Commission, provided the references are clear and specific.

The information that an applicant develops and submits or retains for license renewal or subsequent license renewal should permit the NRC staff to determine that the applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR Part 54. The standard format in which the applicant presents this information should allow optimal use of the applicants resources, while facilitating the NRC staffs review of the LRA or SLRA.

Where practicable, licensees should electronically submit the entire document through, for example, the Electronic Information Exchange, e-mail, or CD ROM. If a licensee chooses to use an electronic submission, then the NRC staff recommends that all subsequent updates or submissions be performed on a total page replacement basis and the applicants should follow the guidance discussed below. The regulation in 10 CFR 50.4(a) specifies that Electronic submissions must be made in a manner that enables the NRC to receive, read, authenticate, distribute, and archive the submission, and process and retrieve it a single page at a time. The NRC provides specific guidance on acceptable procedures for electronic submissions on its public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Users who are new to the process should select the Getting Started link, http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html, and access the Reference Materials for Electronic Submissions link at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. The Reference Materials for Electronic Submissions page also provides a link to the current version of the primary guidance document, Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC (Ref. 23). Licensees should use the most recent processes and guidance when submitting documents in electronic format. Applicants may use the formatting specifications in NUREG-1379, NRC Editorial Style Guide (Ref. 24), in the development of LRAs and SLRAs.

RG 1.188, Rev. 2, Page 9 For revisions and changes to the LRA, SLRA, updated FSAR, or subsequent FSAR updates, the applicant must follow the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.4, and 10 CFR 50.71, Maintenance of records, making of reports. Per 10 CFR 50.4(b)(6), paper copy submissions of updated FSARs may be made using replacement pages. Under 10 CFR 50.4(a), all paper submissions to the Document Control Desk must be the signed originals. As stated in 10 CFR 50.71(e)(5), each updated FSAR replacement page shall include both a change indicator (a bold line vertically drawn in the margin adjacent to the portion that has changed), and a page change identification (with date changed or change number or both). Licensees that submit paper copies of their LRAs, SLRAs, or subsequent FSAR updates should follow 10 CFR 50.4(b)(6) and 50.71(e)(5). As discussed above, if a licensee chooses to use an electronic submission, then the NRC staff recommends that all subsequent updates or submissions be performed on a total page replacement basis.

Sensitive or proprietary information included in the LRA, SLRA, or updated FSAR Supplement, that the licensee seeks to have withheld from the public must be marked and submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding. Applicants must submit nonpublic, security-related information included in the LRA or SLRA related to safeguards information, as defined in 10 CFR 73.2, Definitions, in accordance with 10 CFR 73.21, Protection of Safeguards Information: Performance requirements (Ref. 25).

RG 1.188, Rev. 2, Page 10 D. IMPLEMENTATION The NRC staff may use this regulatory guide as a reference in its regulatory processes, such as licensing, inspection, or enforcement. However, the NRC staff does not intend to use the guidance in this regulatory guide to support NRC staff actions in a manner that would constitute backfitting as that term is defined in 10 CFR 50.109, Backfitting, and as described in NRC Management Directive 8.4, Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests, (Ref. 26), nor does the NRC staff intend to use the guidance to affect the issue finality of an approval under 10 CFR Part 52, Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants. The staff also does not intend to use the guidance to support NRC staff actions in a manner that constitutes forward fitting as that term is defined and described in Management Directive 8.4. If a licensee believes that the NRC is using this regulatory guide in a manner inconsistent with the discussion in this Implementation section, then the licensee may file a backfitting or forward fitting appeal with the NRC in accordance with the process in Management Directive 8.4.
