2 Research and Test Reactors Licensing Branch
Major Areas of Responsibility Accomplishments Ongoing Focus Staffing changes and assignments Specific issues

3 Licensing: Major Areas of Responsibility
Licensing project management Day-to-day interface with licensees Licensing actions License amendments License renewals License transfers Medical isotope production licensing Licensing infrastructure NUREG 1537 Regulatory guides ANS standards HEU to LEU conversions

4 Licensing: Accomplishments
Waste confidence decision determination of no impact Aerotest license renewal denial and order to end operations Issuance of license amendments Continuation of license renewal work ISG licensing radioisotope production facilities and aqueous homogenous reactors Support to IAEA Supported issuance of generic communications Support to operations center GERALD R. FORD Class Aircraft Carrier review Started review of SHINE medical isotope facility application

5 Licensing Ongoing Focus: Medical Isotope Facilities
Medical Isotope Production Facilities Various technologies proposed – 8 letters of intent –Heterogeneous reactor design –Aqueous Homogeneous Reactor (AHR) design –Accelerator based production Interim Staff Guidance Development Supplemental licensing guidance for NUREG 1537 & Covers licensing of AHRs, production facilities, & environmental issues SHINE application received in 2 parts Environmental report – review under way SAR – acceptance review in progress

6 Licensing Ongoing Focus: Infrastructure Enhancement
Updates to NUREG-1537 Add license renewal ISG Add medical isotope ISG Add chapter 7 instrumentation and control Refresh of NUREG-1537 is planned Rulemaking License renewal streamlining rulemaking to start

7 Staffing Changes Going Jessie Quichocho to another management position
Paulette Torres to PROB William “Duke” Kennedy to IAEA Coming Maggie Watford from Purdue for NSPDP Patrick Boyle from power reactor PM position Greg Schoenebeck from PROB Bill Schuster from NIST Coming and Going Al Adams from Senior PM to Branch Chief Soon to come – Some PM reassignments

8 Licensing Staff Al Adams – branch chief Patrick Boyle – renewals and licensing support Duane Hardesty – PM and renewal rulemaking Steve Lynch – medical isotopes Jason Lising – renewals Cindy Montgomery – renewals Greg Schoenebeck – PM William Schuster – PM and medical isotopes Linh Tran – renewals and medical isotopes Spyros Traiforos – PM Marc Voth – medical isotopes Maggie Watford – NSPDP Geoff Wertz – PM and renewals Xiaosong Yin - PM

9 Licensing: Specific Issues
Quality of License Amendment Requests Patrick Boyle Status of License Renewals Cindy Montgomery Security, emergency and requalification plan reviews for streamlined renewals

10 Plan Reviews and License Renewal
Streamlined ISG for renewal did not require NRC review of security, emergency and operator requalification plans for certain facilities. Based on seeing issues with plans that were reviewed, NRC staff will review plans for facilities in license renewal. Six renewed facilities have plans that were not reviewed, NRC staff would like to confirm plans are up-to-date. NRC will work with TRTR to find an acceptable path forward. Have individual licensees request review or issue generic communication to community.
