C.1 Title

RISK-INFORMED REVIEWS OF INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL

SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS

C.2 Background

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff expects license amendment requests to utilize diverse types of digital instrumentation and control (I&C) upgrades in operating reactors in the near future. Operating reactors are expected to implement digital systems using existing software-based technologies and newer field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies. The NRC also expects a new generation of non-light water reactor (non-LWR) applications with advanced reactor technologies and highly integrated, state-of-the-art digital systems.

The NRC’s current I&C regulatory infrastructure is based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) design and quality standards and defense-in-depth approaches. Within this infrastructure, the NRC staff routinely applies engineering judgment on safety importance, informed by operating experience, in evaluating individual designs against regulatory standards. In its staff requirements memorandum (SRM) to SECY 15-0106, “Proposed Rule: Incorporation By Reference of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard 603-2009, “IEEE Standard Criteria for Safety Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations” (RIN 3150-AI98),” the Commission directed the NRC staff to modernize the NRC's l&C regulatory infrastructure. In response to this SRM, the NRC staff developed its Integrated Action Plan (IAP)1 to modernize the NRC’s digital I&C regulatory infrastructure.

As part of this effort, the NRC staff is aiming for a digital I&C regulatory infrastructure that is risk-informed, performance-based, and technology-neutral. Therefore, the NRC staff seeks additional technical methods and analytical tools to integrate risk insights into its technical reviews and inspections of digital systems. The use of risk insights may guide: (1) the degree to which designs should comply with regulatory standards; (2) the level of detail in license amendments or applications; and (3) the level of NRC regulatory focus in performing reviews and making decisions. To the extent practicable, the technical methods and analytical tools developed as part of this work should leverage existing risk-informed approaches.

A key technical challenge to be addressed is quantifying digital system reliability for the diverse types of technologies and system architectures used by reactors, and establishing probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) methods with sufficient quality to guide regulatory decisions on these digital I&C technologies. One aspect of this work is to develop potential methods and analytical tools for: (1) estimating failure frequencies of digital I&C systems; and (2) assessing and addressing uncertainties in these estimates.

The NRC has previously sponsored related research in this area. Methods and

1 “Integrated Action Plan to Modernize Digital Instrumentation and Controls Regulatory Infrastructure,” Revision 2, January 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18016B023) analytical tools considered should build upon previous NRC-sponsored research efforts, including those identified below in Section C.3.

C.3 Objective

The objective of this work is to provide support in developing the technical basis for integrating risk insights into the regulatory framework for I&C systems and components.

C.4 Scope of Work/Tasks

This project will be divided in two stages to develop the technical basis for integrating risk insights into the regulatory framework for I&C systems and components. The first stage includes three major tasks: (1) assess the technical feasibility of risk-informed approaches and integrating risk insights into the regulatory review framework for I&C systems and components; (2) establish a risk-informed process that can be used to classify digital I&C systems and components with respect to risk insights and safety significance and to focus licensee and NRC resources on those I&C systems and components identified as being important to safety, taking into consideration the unique aspects of digital I&C systems (e.g., increased complexity, increased connectivity, different system architectures, combining of functions); and (3) establish potential methods and analytical tools for estimating failure frequencies of digital I&C systems and assessing and addressing uncertainties in these estimates. The second stage includes one major task, which is to develop recommendations for integrating risk insights into the digital I&C regulatory infrastructure, including license review approaches and inspection focus, in a manner that complements the NRC's deterministic approach and supports the NRC's traditional defense-in-depth philosophy. This will minimize regulatory uncertainty associated with the review of I&C upgrades for both operating reactors and new applications for future non-LWR designs.

A kick-off meeting will be held before the start of the major tasks to ensure the contractor fully understands the tasks, deliverables, and schedule. In addition, the contractor will support periodic progress review meetings every six months throughout the period of performance.

Task 1: The first task is to assess the technical feasibility of risk-informed approaches and integrating risk insights into the regulatory review framework for I&C systems and components. Task 1 includes four subtasks:

Subtask 1.1: Review and summarize state-of-the-art or state-or-the-practice approaches for integrating risk insights into regulatory reviews that are used in other relevant agencies or industries.

Subtask 1.2: Review and summarize current practices, lessons learned, and challenges for applying PRA and risk insights to nuclear power plant digital I&C systems for operating and new reactors.

Subtask 1.3: Identify potential regulatory and technical gaps associated with further integrating risk insights into the regulatory review framework for I&C systems and components. In particular, address challenges associated with applying Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.69 to digital

I&C systems and using applicable guidance provided in the Standard Review Plan (SRP).

Subtask 1.4: As applicable, identify requirements for methods, models, data, or analytical tools that need to be developed to establish a risk-informed regulatory framework for digital I&C systems.

The deliverable for Task 1 is a technical letter report that documents the assessment of the technical feasibility of risk-informed approaches and integrating risk insights into the regulatory review framework for I&C systems and components. This assessment will include findings from Subtask 1.1 through Subtask 1.4.

Task 2: The second task is to establish a risk-informed process that can be used to: (1) classify major I&C systems and components with respect to risk insights and safety significance; and (2) guide licensee and NRC resources using a graded approach to place a greater emphasis on those I&C systems and components identified as being important to safety. The risk-informed process should factor in the safety function the I&C systems and components support, along with its safety significance or risk importance with respect to other functions within the overall I&C architecture. Task 2 includes four subtasks:

Subtask 2.1: Establish a process for classifying major I&C systems and components in LWR designs (both boiling-water reactor (BWR) and pressurized-water reactor (PWR) designs)2 and non-LWR designs3 using risk insights and engineering judgement based on estimation of the likelihood and consequence of failures involving digital I&C systems and components. The deliverable for Subtask 2.1 is a technical letter report that documents the established risk-informed process.

Subtask 2.2: Use the risk-informed process established in Subtask 2.1 to classify the major I&C systems and components in a representative BWR design.

The contractor will work with the COR to select the representative BWR design and the major I&C systems and components to be classified. The deliverable for Subtask 2.2 is a technical letter report that documents: (1) the identification and risk-informed categorization of the selected major I&C systems and components in the selected representative BWR design; and (2) any lessons learned or gaps

2 The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) developed guidance on categorizing structures, systems, and components (SSCs) for licensees that choose to adopt 10 CFR 50.69. This guidance is documented in NEI 00-04 (Rev 0), “10 CFR 50.69 SSC Categorization Guideline” (ADAMS Accession No. ML052910035). 10 CFR 50.69 and NEI-00-04 represent one example of a risk-informed process that could be developed for LWR designs under Subtask 2.1. However, the contractor is not constrained to this example and may consider and adopt alternative approaches.

3 Southern Company has developed an approach for categorizing SSCs in advanced non-LWR designs as part of the Licensing Modernization Project with the Department of Energy (DOE). This approach is documented in SC-29980-102 (Draft Rev A), “Modernization of Technical Requirements for Licensing of Advanced Non-Light Water Reactors: Safety Classification and Performance Criteria for Structures, Systems, and Components” (ADAMS Accession No. ML17290A463). SC-29980-102 represents one example of a risk-informed process that could be developed for non-LWR designs under Subtask 2.1.

However, the contractor is not constrained to this example and may consider and adopt alternative approaches.

identified in using the risk-informed process established in Subtask 2.1 to classify the major I&C systems and components in a representative BWR design.

Subtask 2.3: Use the risk-informed process established in Subtask 2.1 to classify the major I&C systems and components in a representative PWR design.

The contractor will work with the COR to select the representative PWR design and the major I&C systems and components to be classified. The deliverable for Subtask 2.3 is a technical letter report that documents: (1) the identification and risk-informed categorization of the selected major I&C systems and components in the selected representative PWR design; and (2) any lessons learned or gaps identified in using the risk-informed process established in Subtask 2.1 to classify the major I&C systems and components in a representative PWR design.

Subtask 2.4: Use the risk-informed process established in Subtask 2.1 to classify the major I&C systems and components in one or more representative non-LWR designs. The contractor will work with the COR to select the representative non-LWR design(s)—which may focus on those that are judged most likely to be licensed and constructed—and the major I&C systems and components to be classified. The deliverable for Subtask 2.4 is a technical letter report that documents: (1) the identification and risk-informed categorization of the selected major I&C systems and components in the selected representative non-LWR design(s); and (2) any lessons learned or gaps identified in using the risk-informed process established in Subtask 2.1 to classify the major I&C systems and components in one or more representative non-LWR designs.

Deliverables for Subtask 2.1 through Subtask 2.4 are described above for each subtask.

The principal findings from Task 2 as a whole will be summarized and leveraged as part of Task 4.

Task 3: The third task is to assess potential methods and analytical tools for: (1) estimating failure frequencies of digital I&C systems; and (2) assessing and addressing uncertainties in these estimates. After completion of Tasks 1, 2, and 4, the contractor will continue to support periodic progress review meetings every six months for the remainder of the period of performance. Task 3 includes three subtasks:

Subtask 3.1: Perform an initial scoping study to investigate potential methods and analytical tools to gather component failure data and estimate failure frequencies for digital I&C systems applicable to nuclear power plant systems.

Methods and analytical tools considered should build upon previous NRC-sponsored research efforts, including but not limited to those documented in the following reports:

o NUREG/CR-6101, “Software Reliability and Safety in Nuclear Reactor Protection Systems.”

o NUREG/GR-0019, “Software Engineering Measures for Predicting Software Reliability in Safety Critical Digital Systems.”

o NUREG/CR-7151, “Development of a Fault Injection-Based Dependability Assessment Methodology for Digital I&C Systems o NUREG/CR-7234, “Development of A Statistical Testing Approach for Quantifying Safety-Related Digital System on Demand Failure Probability.”

Subtask 3.2: From the methods considered in Subtask 3.1, identify method(s) to use for risk-significant digital I&C systems and components. The COR will pre-approve the method(s) to be described in the NUREG/CR report.

Subtask 3.3: Characterize uncertainties in the failure frequency estimates developed by method(s) selected in Task 3.2 and describe methods to address these uncertainties in NRC regulatory decisions regarding digital I&C systems and components in nuclear power plants.

The deliverable for Task 3 is a NUREG/CR report that documents the findings from Subtask 3.1 through Subtask 3.3.

Task 4: The fourth task—which will be performed in the second stage after completion of Task 1 and Task 2—is to develop recommendations for integrating risk insights into the digital I&C regulatory infrastructure, including license review approaches and inspection focus, in a manner that complements the NRC’s deterministic approach and supports the NRC’s traditional defense-in-depth philosophy.

The deliverable for Task 4 is a technical letter report that summarizes and leverages the principal findings from Task 1 and Task 2 to develop recommendations for integrating risk insights into the digital I&C regulatory infrastructure.

C.13 Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act – Electronic and Information Technology Standards

C.13.1 Introduction In December 2000, the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board), pursuant to Section 508(2)(A) of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998, established electronic and information technology accessibility standards for the federal government. Section 508(a)(1) requires that when federal departments or agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology they shall ensure that the EIT allows federal employees with disabilities to have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access to and use of information and data by other Federal employees. The Section 508 requirement also applies to members of the public seeking information or services from a federal department or agency.

The Standards for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (codified at 36 CFR § 1194) were revised by the Access Board, published on January 18, 2017 and minor corrections were made on January 22, 2018, effective March 23, 2018.

The Revised 508 Standards have replaced the term EIT with information and communication technology (ICT). ICT is information technology (as set forth in 40 U.S.C. 11101(6)) and other equipment, systems, technologies, or processes, for which the principal function is the creation, manipulation, storage, display, receipt, or transmission of electronic data and information, as well as any associated content.

Examples of ICT include, but are not limited to: Computers and peripheral equipment;

information kiosks and transaction machines; telecommunications equipment; customer premises equipment; multifunction office machines; software; applications; Web sites;

videos; and, electronic documents.

The text of the Standards for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (aka Revised 508 Standards) can be found in 36 CFR § 1194.1 and in Appendices A, C and D of 36 CFR § 1194 (at https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=caeb8ddcea26ba5002c2eea047698e85&mc=true&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title36/36cf r1194_main_02.tpl).

C.13.2 General Requirements In order to help the NRC comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 794d)(Section 508), the contractor shall ensure that its deliverables (both products and services), within the scope of this contract, are

1. in conformance with, and

2. support the requirements of the Standards for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation

Act, as set forth in Appendices A, C and D of 36 CFR § 1194.
