2 SMR s potential for changing social and energy supply paradigms is compelling Jobs US goods and services National Security and energy policy Climate change benefits NuScale Integral PWR

3 10 years of evolving dialogue between SMR* reactor designers, project developers and NRC. October 2009 NRC SMR workshop: Encouraged dialogue prior to license application. For each issue the SMR community should provide a consensus approach *For this work SMR were defined as small and medium sized reactors B&W Integral PWR

4 Directed by the ANS President to develop solutions to SMR generic licensing issues Crosscutting participation from ANS members with every SMR perspective Collaborative with DOE, NEI, EPRI, and IAEA and other SMR programs

5 Hyperion Reactor KLT-40 Icebreaker Reactor (35 MWe floating nuclear power plant) General Atomics MHR Toshiba 4S (10 to 50 MWe) Sodium cooled PBMR (165 MWe)

6 Emergency Planning Passive Safety systems ITAAC Staffing Human factors operational issues Physical security aircraft impact Financial Issues Price Anderson, insurance, financial qualifications, decommissioning NRC fee rules Applicability of large light water requirements to SMR s Non-electrical generation process heat application Prototypes - proximity to industrial processes Manufacturing licenses International codes and standards Multi-module facilities Risk informed and performance based licensing approaches PRA

7 Issue focused Gas, water and liquid metal cooled technologies are represented. White papers for generic issues in 3 groups: A- Licensing Framework. B- Licensing application. C- Licensing design and manufacturing.

8 Participants have prioritized and self selected issues, formed working groups and have written white papers. White papers results are available for the SMR community s use

10 Kick Off Draft papers Committee reviews ANS Summer meeting Complete white papers ANS Winter meeting January End of March April-May Mid June ongoing November

11 Group A- Licensing Framework Staffing NRC Fees Price Anderson Applicability of LWR requirements to SMR s Group B -Licensing application Risk informed regulation Physical security Group C- Licensing design and manufacturing Manufacturing licenses ITAAC

12 Group A- Licensing Framework Decommissioning funding Control room staffing and layout Group B -Licensing application Emergency planning Risk metrics Group C- Licensing design and manufacturing Multi-module licensing Non electrical applications

14 Excellent work by very talented and enthusiastic members ANS SMR Committee work will continue Looking Forward ANS is part of the SMR picture NRC, NEI, EPRI,IAEA, DoE, NGNP,

15 US Nuclear regulations regulate safety and security of large LWR s The law requires intense scrutiny of repeat designs and of evolutionary changes Gen III > Gen III + Current rules are incompatible with SMR designs Exemption Rule making legislative changes

16 ANS SMR committee is a force in achieving cooperation White paper results rule changes Support the SMR initiative NEI NRC Legislators DOD DOE Communicate with stakeholders

17 The ANS SMR Committee provides a unique opportunity to bring ANS members together from all sectors of the SMR community to develop informed options for dealing with the generic licensing issues
