  11. JCNRM Overview

  12. JCNRM CHARTER To develop, revise and maintain standards and guides on probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) and related risk management techniques supporting risk-informed and performance-based applications for nuclear facilities.

  13. JCNRM SCOPE The development of standards and guidance that establish risk criteria and methods for PRA, risk assessment, and risk management for nuclear facilities. Review of standards as requested by other American Nuclear Society (ANS) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards committees, and other standards development organizations on related topics to identify inconsistency, lack of integration of risk concepts and duplication, as appropriate.

  14. JCNRM Overview National consensus committee ~70 volunteers working in all JCNRM organizational areas All nuclear sectors interest areas represented Member rosters can be found on JCNRM web page

  18. JCNRM Organizational Chart Joint Committee on Nuclear Rick Management [JCNRM] (Consensus Group) JCNRM Executive Committee Subcommittee Standards Development (SC-SD) Subcommittee Standards Maintenance (SC-SM) Subcommittee on Risk Applications (SCoRA) JCNRM Working Groups JCNRM Project Teams 18

  19. Subcommittee Standards Development • Chair/Vice Chair • Barry Sloane (ERIN Engineering), Chair • Dennis Henneke (GE Hitachi), Vice Chair • Working Groups (“Writing Groups”) • Advanced LWR PRA Standard (Jim Chapman, lead) • Low Power/Shutdown PRA Standard (Don Wakefield, lead) • Level 2 PRA Standard (Ed Burns, lead); currently being balloted for trial use • Level 3 PRA Standard (Keith Woodard, lead) • Non-LWR PRA Standard (Karl Fleming, lead); currently in Trial Use phase • Project Teams • Spent Fuel Pool PRA Needs Assessment; work is completed • Primary focus 2014 – 2016 • Issuance of LP/SD PRA Standard for Trial Use • Issuance of Advanced LWR PRA Standard for Trial Use • Issuance of L2 PRA Standard Trial Use • Issuance of L3 PRA Standard for Trial Use • Evolution of Trial Use Process, interaction with Trial Use Standard users • Eventual Issuance of Trial Use standards as ANSI Standards

  20. Subcommittee Maintenance Chair Paul Amico/Vice Chairs Andrea Maioli, Gareth Parry Working Groups: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Parts 5-10 Project Teams: 8 PTs addressing groups of cross cutting issues. Primary focus 2014 – 2016 is new edition of RA-S. Expect to inherit new standards and WGs beginning in 2016

  21. Subcommittee on Risk Applications Chair Ken Kiper/Vice Chair Stanley Levinson Project Teams - New PT on interface with BNCS Board Committee Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA) to facilitate and improve 50.69 implementation Primary Focus 2014-2016 - Establish POCs with key stakeholder organizations & national consensus committees with risk initiatives

  22. Strategic Plans

  23. MISSION Factor risk, as well as performance, into all ASME Nuclear Codes and Standards, as appropriate, to further ensure, on a worldwide basis, that they protect public health and safety and meet the needs of users ACTION PLAN Identify and track short-term (1-2 years) and long-term (3+ years) risk-informed initiatives within the Committee on Board Operations and across all BNCS Committees PRA STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT Identify needs to enhance or develop PRA Standards to support applications defined in the action plan UPDATES Plan is updated and approved at each BNCS meeting (~4 months) and is then placed on the ASME website for public access ASME BNCS Risk Management Strategic Plan

  24. The American Nuclear Society Standards Board (SB) has established the Risk Informed and Performance Based Principles Policy Committee (RP3C) as a committee that reports directly to the SB. The RP3Cis responsible for the identification and oversight of the development and implementation of the ANS Risk Informed and Performance Based Standards Plan that establishes the approaches, priorities, responsibilities and schedules for implementation of risk informed and performance based principles in American Nuclear Society (ANS) standards. The RP3C is also responsible for reviewing standards being developed by other standards developing organizations as assigned by the ANS SB on related topics to ensure consistency. ANS Standards Board Risk Management Strategic Plan

  25. JCNRM Action Plan

  26. Risk-Informed Applications Support

  27. Regulatory Infrastructure • RG 1.200 endorses PRA Standards • Other supporting RGs for applications are • RG 1.174, Risk Informed Licensing Changes • RG 1.175, Risk Informed Inservice Inspection • RG 1.177, Risk Informed Technical Specifications • RG 1.201, Risk Informed Categorization & Treatment of SSCs • RG 1.205, 50.48(c) Fire Protection, NFPA 805 • RG 1.206, 10CFR52, New Plants

  28. NRC has adopted a risk-informed approach to use of PRA in regulatory decision-making (Risk Informed Regulation) The philosophy is discussed, in the contextof changes to licensing basis, in RG 1.174 PRA analyses are one, but not the only, input to the decision NUREG-2150 describes a proposed risk management regulatory framework Use of PRA Results in Regulatory Applications 31

  29. Risk Informed Regulatory Areas • Maintenance Rule (10CFR50.65), • Mitigating Systems Performance Index (MSPI), • Reactor Oversight Program/Significance Determination Process

  30. Industry PRA Applications Risk-Informed Applications used by US NPPs On-Line Maintenance, Configuration Risk Management, Risk Informed Inservice Inspection (prior to PRA Standard) 10CFR50.69, Risk Significance Categorization Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Risk-Managed Tech Specs (Flexible Allowed Outage Times) (RITS 4B) Surveillance Frequency Control Program (RITS 5B) NFPA-805 (Risk Informed Fire Protection) Risk-Informed GSI-191 33

  31. Utility PRAs use the guidance in the Standard for establishing in part or in whole: Role of Peer Reviews Risk-Informed Application Process PRA Standard Utility Interfaces 34

  32. Communication & Contact Paths

  33. Communication Venues • Owners Group Meetings • EPRI meetings • Two JCNRM Meeting weeks per year (February, September) • Monday/Tuesday (WGs, Exec Committee) • Tuesday/Wednesday (Subcommittees) • Thursday (Main Committee) • NRMCC Meetings (two per year) • ASME & ANS • Many telecons at all levels

  34. ContactInformation • UTILITY REPRESENTATIVES • ASME JCNRM committee website • http://cstools.asme.org/csconnect/CommitteePages.cfm?Committee=100186782 • Officers • Co-Chairs: C.R. (Rick) Grantom, Bob Budnitz • Vice Chairs: Dennis Henneke, Pamela Nelson • SDO Secretaries • Oliver Martinez (ASME), martinezo@asme.org • Pat Schroeder (ANS), pschroeder@ans.org 37

  35. Opportunities to Participate Subcommittees Working Groups (permanent JCNRM technical groups) Project Teams (temporary teams chartered to address or resolve a specific short term activity)

  36. INSIGHTS Codes & Standards are the consensus mechanism to develop guidance and requirements for industry use and subsequent regulatory endorsement Many areas need attention and further development Opportunities to help ensure that technical requirements ultimately to be imposed on Users are accurate, efficient, and effective What is contained in C&S typically become requirements (participation is important) Good opportunity for younger professionals to have a voice in their future
