Abstract:
Proposed Rule entitled: 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52, "Risk-Informed Changes to Loss-of-Coolant Accident Technical Requirements." The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposes to amend its regulations to permit applicants for and/or holders of power reactor operating licenses, standard design certifications, combined licenses, standard design approvals or manufacturing licenses to choose to implement a risk informed alternative to the current requirements for analyzing the performance of emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) during loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs). In addition, the proposed rule would establish procedures and criteria for making changes in plant design and procedures based upon the results of the new analyses of ECCS performance during LOCAs. A licensee or applicant choosing to use the provisions of Section 50.46a would be required to submit a license amendment request with the required information, using the existing processes in Section 50.34 and Section 50.90.

The majority of this burden is a one-time burden, which includes fulfilling the requirements of Sections 50.46a(c)(1) (Application), 50.46a(e) (ECCS Evaluations Re-analysis), and 50.46a(f) (Risk-Informed Evaluations). These one-time and annual burdens also have additional associated annual burdens due to recordkeeping requirements.
