1. Delivering Risk Informed Engineering Programs (50.69) The OG Plan
RMSC / SEE
December 2016

2. Purpose of Presentation
Understand PWROG efforts in place for 50.69
Understand PWROG plan to deliver to members
Members should be able to communicate this presentation to their sites – and help incorporate PWROG effort into their own plans

3. What is 10 CFR 50.69?
50.69 provides an option to reduce regulatory burden via risk-informing to make plants more cost-effective and provide flexibility to refocus resources on areas that matter.
NEI provides the guidance.

4. How is the PWROG Involved?
Delivering the Nuclear Promise
Risk Informed Operations
NEI Task Force
The PWROG’s Top Priority Moving into is to align to Deliver the Nuclear Promise.
PWROG Generic Implementation via RMSC/SEE

5. How is the PWROG Involved?
OG’s provided support for the NEI LAR Template
OG’s helping craft NEI (50.69 Guidance)
Overall OG program being designed to accommodate industry effort
The OG’s have been working in the background since early 2016 to ensure coordinated, industry effort

6. Annual Expected Savings for 1 Unit for 1 system –
Justify Industry Costs and Savings to Sites
Cost Range to Implement for 1 System - $50,000 - $300,000
Total Cost Range to Generically Categorize a System (~40% of effort generic + site costs) - $21,000 - $124,000
Annual Expected Savings for 1 Unit for 1 system –
$29,000 - $176,000
$ based on APS estimates

7. Why is the PWROG the Best Route for 50.69?
Network to Ensure Consistency – Improves Efficiency
Categorization
Alternate Treatments
Common Industry databases
Cost Savings Beyond Itself
Generic categorization via OG avoids duplicate individual site work
Each system ~650 hours
Strength in numbers to support licensees during inspections
The PWROG removes the duplicative nature of the work – doing it once for all

8. Suggested Industry Group Swim Lanes
Industry Guidance
Industry Coordination
Resolution of Generic Issues
NEI
Detailed Implementation Guidance
Implementation Tools (Categorization Database, Dissemination of OE OG
Alternate Treatments
New Categorization Approaches (e.g. passive cat.)
EPRI
Time

9. PWROG Generic Implementation
Identification of Low Risk Systems
(PA-RMSC-1477)
Pilot Generic Categorization of Containment Spray (PA-RMSC-1516)
Generic Categorization for Industry
Site Implementation / Incorporation
Coordinate between PWROG (RMSC, SEE), NEI, BWROG

10. Incorporating PWROG 50.69 Work
Containment Spray (pilot)
Radiation Monitor
NSSS

11. Efforts Combine for Efficient 50.69 Implementation
PWROG Effort Complements and Plugs Into Ongoing Work at Site
Site Work
OG Work
Efforts Combine for Efficient Implementation
OG work does not duplicate site work…

12. RMSC/SEE Project Authorization Plan Overview

13. Technical Inputs Risk Characterization System Functions Definition
PRA model required for Internal Events (including Internal Flood)
PRA or Qualitative Assessment for remaining hazard groups
System Functions Definition
UFSAR
Design Basis Documents
Master Equipment List
Maintenance Rule Program
System Functions Categorization
PRA model driven – from mapped components
Qualitative Assessment

15. 1 Industry Tool (PA-RMSC-1515)
Vendor Tools
Utility Tools
1 Industry Tool (PA-RMSC-1515)
The Industry is Best Served with 1 Tool for Generic Categorization
Multiple categorization databases are in progress…we need to combine efforts
For a WIN.
The PWROG (in coordination with the BWROG)has the infrastructure to coordinate 1 tool for the industry.

16. The Next Steps for 50.69 in the PWROG
OG Steps
PAs for generic cat. Expected in Winter 2016/2017
Continued coordination with NEI
Maintain timeline for sites to implement OG products
Member’s Steps
Members need to reinforce this info packet to site management
Coordinate site effort with PWROG effort
Prepare to approve PAs in Winter 2016/2017
Ready teams at site to respond to PA-RMSC-1477 surveys in Winter/Spring 2017
