Summary

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public comment on a draft regulatory issue summary (RIS) concerning how the NRC considers current operation of a facility in the NRC's license renewal review under NRC regulations. NRC regulations identify the technical information that must be submitted in a license renewal application (LRA) to enable the NRC staff to make a determination that the license may be renewed. In part, an applicant is required to demonstrate that the effects of aging on the functionality of structures and components subject to an aging management review will be adequately managed; the consideration of recent operating experience is an important aspect of that demonstration. In addition, as required by NRC regulations, license renewal applicants need to update their applications with new information related to any current licensing basis changes that could impact aging management of structures and components.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
