II. The Petitioner and the Petition The petition was submitted by Thomas A. Bergman on behalf of NuScale Power, LLC. Thomas A. Bergman is the Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. The petitioner requests that the NRC amend part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to alleviate an unnecessarily burdensome requirement on advanced reactor designs by adding an alternative formula for calculating the mean value of the transition temperature shift. The petition can be found in ADAMS at Accession No. ML19254B848. III. Discussion of the Petition The provisions in 10 CFR 50.61 and Regulatory Guide 1.99 were first published in 1988 and focus on determining embrittlement inside the surface of the reactor pressure vessel. Additional irradiation embrittlement data has been collected since the time 10 CFR 50.61 and Regulatory Guide 1.99 were developed. The petitioner states that small modular reactor design is unnecessarily burdened with an excessively conservative methodology for determining radiation embrittlement based on outdated information. The petitioner requests that the NRC amend 10 CFR part 50 to alleviate a requirement for calculating the embrittlement for advanced reactor designs and add the embrittlement trend curve formula for calculating the mean value of the transition temperature shift described in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E900–15 to the NRC’s regulations and guidance documents. The petitioner states that ASTM E900–15 represents the latest industry consensus embrittlement trend correlation and is derived from a much larger database than was available when Regulatory Guide 1.99 was issued and last revised. IV. Conclusion The NRC has determined that the petition meets the threshold sufficiency requirements for docketing a petition for rulemaking under 10 CFR 2.803. The NRC is examining the issues raised in PRM–50–120 to determine whether these issues should be considered in rulemaking and is requesting public comment on this petition at this time. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of November 2019. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary of the Commission.
