 I'd like to welcome everybody, industry, staff, public who are here for today's meeting on small modular reactors with our meeting. So small modular reactors, they represent a relatively new concept in nuclear power reactors unlike the current fleet of generation three or three plus reactors that we have licensed in the past. SMR reactors are those that produce less than 300 megawatts electric of electricity power. Today we're going to have the opportunity to look at anticipated licensing activities associated with small modular reactors, the status of actions and activities to resolve key generic policy issues associated with SMRs and activities and plans for SMRs on part of the industry and other government agencies. So we're going to have two panels, an external panel and then our own staff panel. On the external panel we're going to hear from Dr. John Kelly who is deputy assistant secretary nuclear reactor technologies at the department of energy in the office of nuclear energy. We have Mr. Ricardo Perez, Rick Perez, who is chairman of the NEI's working group on small modular reactors and senior vice president and operation support for TVA. I don't know if you were here the other day. I was. You're making many trips to us. We have Mr. Anthony Inet Iano, managing director of global powers and utilities group investment banking at Morgan Stanley. And we have Dr. Alexander Glauser who is assistant professor at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University. Yes, a mouthful. And then we're going to hear from our staff panel. In between the two panels we will take a short five minute break to switch out folks and remember to keep your remarks to ten minutes and try to avoid the use of acronyms. And before, yeah, yeah, you didn't hear that one before or you didn't hear it? Oh, rats. I keep trying to beating the drum of no acronyms. That's great. It's a Sisyphean task. Anyway. We will start the afternoon's second panel when we'll turn things over to Mark Satori as our executive director of operations. Thank you chairman and good afternoon and good afternoon commissioners. And to Commissioner Burns, on behalf of the staff, I welcome you to the commission. It rounds it out to an even five and now all the seats are filled so and it's good to see that you were busy at work at your first commission meeting less than three hours after having been sworn in. So welcome sir. The commission was last briefed on the topic of small modular reactors or SMRs in March of 2011 as you may have heard from an earlier presentation. At that time the staff was actively involved in licensing activities with a very strong support from the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, the Office of General Counsel and the Office of International Programs. Since 2011 in that briefing those offices have continued to provide support to SMR activities to include infrastructure development and pre-application interactions. I would like to acknowledge the dedicated efforts and the accomplishments of the Office of New Reactors and also it includes the Division of Advanced Reactors and rulemaking who are represented at the table here today. Today's briefing will provide you with an update of the activities that demonstrate the staff's readiness to review light water SMRs. Today's briefing will also touch on the strategic planning for non-light water reactors. I will now turn the presentation over to Debbie Jackson, the Deputy Director of the Division of Advanced Reactors and Rulemaking. Debbie? Thank you Mark. Thank you Mark. Good afternoon Chairman and Commissioners. We are here today to inform you of the Office of New Reactors' readiness to conduct safety and environmental reviews for small modular reactor applications under 10C-FAR-50 and 10C-FAR-52. As Mark stated, this briefing will include light water reactor, small modular reactor designs and briefly discuss strategic planning for non-light water reactors. The Division of Advanced Reactors and Rulemaking has successfully completed a number of tasks since our last briefing. These tasks include development of a baseline review schedule for small modular reactor designs, completion of interim staff guidance for light water reactor review, an international small modular reactor regulator forum, and a comprehensive report to Congress on advanced reactors. This briefing will focus on three main areas, licensing, guidance, and policy. With me at the table today are the Division of Advanced Reactors and Rulemaking's branch chiefs responsible for this work, Stuart Magruder, Joe Calichino, and Anna Bradford. The branch chiefs will discuss their role in each of these three areas to demonstrate that NRO has the infrastructure in place to conduct reviews of small modular reactors. I'd also like to state that in late summer, 2014, the Office of New Reactors staff completed SECI 14-0095, entitled Status of the Office of New Reactor Readiness to Review Small Modular Reactor Applications. That SECI became public in August 2014.
