NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Announcement of Public Workshop on License Renewal Continuing
Guidance Development
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of public workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will
hold a public workshop on implementation of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, (10 CFR) part 54, ``Requirements for Renewal of
Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants'' (the
[[Page 61932]]
license renewal rule) and Part 51 (environmental issues). The purpose
of the workshop is to exchange information between applicant, the NRC
staff reviewers, and other stakeholders that will lead to enhancing the
license renewal application (LRA) in a manner that provides the most
efficient review by the NRC staff and enhances public confidence. The
workshop is intended to allow for an open exchange between the
stakeholders. It will provide an opportunity to discuss lessons learned
in the license renewal process. On day one, part 54 is discussed, and
on the second day, part 51 is discussed.
The NRC staff will consider the comments received from the workshop
participants to improve the license renewal guidance documents NUREG-
1800, ``Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications
for Nuclear Power Plants'', NUREG 1801, ``Generic Aging Lessons Learned
(GALL) report,'' and Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.188 ``Standard Format and
Content for Applications to Renew Nuclear Power Plant Operating
Licenses.'' NEI will consider the comments to improve NEI 95-10,
``Industry Guideline for Implementing the Requirements of 10 CFR part
54--The License Renewal Rule,'' as appropriate.
The workshop will be conducted in a roundtable format to allow for
interaction between presenters and attendees. This is a Category 3
Meeting. The public is invited to participate in this meeting by
providing comments and asking questions throughout the meeting.
DATES: October 22, 2002, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; October 23, 2002, 9 a.m. to
