Risk-Informed Decision Making (RIDM): Action Plan Mike Franovich, Director Division of Risk Assessment 12 2

An Action Plan is Being Implemented to Improve Risk-Informed Decisionmaking Enhance the integration of risk information into the organizations decision making practices and processes to improve the technical basis for regulatory activities, increase efficiency, and improve effectiveness NRR RIDM Mission SECY Paper Strategies Strategy IV Advance Risk-Informed Initiatives Strategy III Enhance Mandatory Training Tasks PHASE 1 Evaluate tasks to generate findings and recommendations PHASE 2 Implement recommendations Strategy I Evaluate/Update Guidance Strategy II Develop Graded Approach Cross-Cutting Communication Strategy V Enhance Communication 3

The Action Plan Supports Increased Use of Integrated Reviews and Safety and Risk Insights 4

Strategies to Optimize Regulatory Activities

  • Broaden efforts to promote RIDM practices
  • Increase FLEX regulatory credit

- correlate future plant modifications with FLEX to reduce other hazards risk (e.g., internal fires & floods)

- showcase FLEX capabilities when NRC conducts onsite audits -

increase reviewers, inspectors, and managers awareness

  • Focus communications and coordination

- Conduct joint NRC-Industry workshops on lessons learned from 50.69 and TSTF-505 reviews

- Improve coordination and accuracy of forecasted LAR submittals

- Sequence risk related LARs:

  • Consider submitting TSTF-505 prior to 50.69 or lower tier LARs (TSTF-505 program has a very high pedigree for PRA acceptability), or

7 PRA Acceptability - 3 Elements

  • All 3 elements have to work together to demonstrate PRA acceptability Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.200 provides NRC staff position Peer Review to demonstrate conformance with PRA Standard PRA Standard to demonstrate conformance with staff position PRA ACCEPTABILITY

8 New Methods Are a Current Focus Area for NRC and Industry

  • Ongoing focus on industry peer-review and the F&O closure process

- RG 1.200 update

- NEI 17-07

  • A risk-informed oversight process will complement licensing activities and possibly new methods

Crediting Mitigating Strategies in Regulatory Applications Mike Montecalvo Acting, Branch Chief Division of Risk Assessment 12 9

Crediting Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) 1 0

  • FLEX developed to meet the Commissions Orders after the Fukushima accident
  • FLEX can also be utilized for:

- Defense-in-Depth

  • The NRC wants to encourage safety enhancements
  • Addressing ongoing challenges

1 1

Challenges to Crediting FLEX

- Needed to develop, and support, equipment reliability used in risk assessments

- Prior OpE collection effort by EPRI abandoned

- Owners Groups have taken lead

- Have committed to sharing draft and final results

  • HRA methods for unique FLEX actions

- Current HRA methods not adequate for all FLEX actions

- Ongoing work in NRR and RES to address this challenge

- RES held an expert elicitation in April 2018

- EPRI Workshop in February 2018

1 2

FLEX OpE data expectations

  • Commissions PRA policy statement states:

- PRA evaluations in support of regulatory decisions should be as realistic as practicable and appropriate supporting data should be publicly available for review.

  • The data needs to be of comparable resolution to what the NRC publishes on its public website.

- Failures, Number of attempts (or hours), and number of components

  • The data does not need to identify individual plants, consistent with our current approach.
  • The data should be of sufficient resolution to verify that any poolability assumptions are statistically sound.

- Basis for pooling FLEX diesels from different vendors

1 3

Path Forward on FLEX OpE data

  • Owners Group Effort

- Draft report Fall 2018

- Publish report (1st quarter 2019)

  • NRC is looking forward to reviewing the report
  • Possible Public Meeting

- Discuss the NRCs review of the report

- Discuss how RES will integrate this information into the current process

  • NRC staff is looking forward to engaging the owners groups on the FLEX OpE data.
