Presentation transcript:

Next Generation Nuclear Plant Licensing Strategy William D. Reckley NRC/NRO/ARP March 12, 2009

Energy Policy Act of 2005 The NRC shall have licensing and regulatory authority.... The DOE and NRC shall jointly submit...a licensing strategy for the prototype nuclear reactor... Not later than September 2011, DOE shall select the technology for high temperature hydrogen production and initial design parameters for the prototype nuclear plant... Not later than September 2021, complete construction and begin operation...

Evaluation of Licensing Options DOE/NRC working group evaluated options, including: –Construction Permit/Operating License (Part 50) –Combined License (Part 52) with and without: Design Certification (DC) Early Site Permit (ESP) DOE/NRC jointly issued recommendations in August 2008 –Recommended Combined License without DC/ESP –Recommended approach using deterministic engineering judgment and analysis complemented by PRA information

Licensing the Prototype Reactor Requires productive use of pre-application period (now to 2013) Dependent on meeting major milestones, including supporting research and code development Requires development of new regulatory infrastructure Prototype may include compensatory measures to address uncertainties in the design (e.g., caused by delayed demonstration testing)

Going Forward Assess gaps in regulations and guidance Identify and propose resolution of policy issues Identify and develop plans to resolve key technical issues Coordinate licensing and research programs

Policy & Key Technical Issues Containment vs. confinement Staffing requirements Security requirements Role of risk assessments in licensing NRC fee structure Emergency planning requirements

Policy & Key Technical Issues Source term Operating conditions System and facility interactions Prototype testing program Conditional licensing

Coordination of Licensing & Research Fuel performance and manufacturing Fission product behavior Materials qualification Separate effects and integrated tests Computer code development and validation
