PROPOSED RULE: Risk-Informed,
Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors The
NRC is proposing to establish an optional technology-inclusive
regulatory framework for use by applicants for new commercial
nuclear plant designs. The regulatory requirements developed in
this rulemaking would use methods of evaluation, including
risk-informed and performance-based methods, that are flexible and
practicable for application to a variety of new reactor
technologies. The NRC’s goals in amending these regulations are to
continue to provide reasonable assurance of adequate protection of
public health and safety and the common defense and security at
reactor sites at which new nuclear reactor designs are deployed to
at least the same degree of protection as required for
current-generation LWRs; protect health and minimize danger to life
or property to at least the same degree of protection as required
for current-generation LWRs; provide greater operational
flexibilities where supported by enhanced margins of safety that
may be provided in new nuclear designs; and promote regulatory
stability, predictability, and clarity. The proposed rule covers
diverse topics, which result in recordkeeping and reporting
requirements related to contents of applications, plant design and
analysis, siting, construction and manufacturing, licensing-basis
information, facility operations, programs, staffing, FFD, physical
security, cyber-security, AA, decommissioning, and quality
assurance. In addition to the new information collections in the
proposed regulations, part 53 would result in new collections via
new NRC Form 361S. The information collections associated with the
proposed rule have been submitted under the following clearance
numbers: 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 26 (temporary clearance
number, 3150-0146 is currently unavailable for submissions due to
the renewal) 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 50 (temporary
clearance number, 3150-0011 is currently unavailable for
submissions due to the renewal) 3150-XXXX Burden for 10 CFR Part 53
(new clearance number for a new CFR Part) 3150-XXXX NRC Forms 893
and 894 (new clearance number for a new form) 3150-0002: 10 CFR
Part 73 (revision) 3150-0104: NRC Form 366 (revision) 3150-0238:
NRC Form 361 (revision)
