E `E's Approach to 0 RXesolution ofKeyr Technical Issue AgreementsPresented to:DOE/NRC Quarterly Management Meeting

Presented by:

Lessons LearnedBetter understanding of information needed as a result ofcommunications with NRC staff

- Developing responses to original Key Technical Issue (KTI)Agreements

- Receipt of Additional Information Needs from NRC staff

- Clarification of NRC staff expectations

- Discussions at technical exchanges

Revisions to resolution strategy were needed- Program replanning due to Continuing Resolution- Behind schedule in delivery of KTI Agreement responses

- Availability of Yucca Mountain Review Plan (YMRP) (Draft Final)

Previous approach focused primarily on responses toindividual KTI Agreements

- Not as effective as an integrated approachYUCCA MOUNTAIN PROJECT

BSC Presentations.NRCQA YMZiegler07/16103.ppt 2 of 10

ApporoachS

* DOE still plans to address each KTI Agreement- An integrated approach will be used to address groups of

KTI Agreements within the context of their relationship tothe repository system

- Some KTI Agreements will be handled individually

- Goal is effective resolution of KTI Agreements

- Revised schedule for responses has been provided to NRC

* Coordination with NRC staff- Regulatory interactions will be held to assist NRC's review

- Current schedule of interactions will be updated as neededto reflect this approach

Develop the technical basis for licensing describingphysical processes and basis for repositoryperformance

Technical basis are consistent with abstractiongroups of the YMRP

* Address KTI Agreements within the context of thetechnical basis

* Assign dedicated staff whose only priority isdevelopment of high quality responses to KTIAgreements

YUCCA MOUNTAIN PROJECTBSC Presentations_NRC_QA _YMZIegIer07/16/03.ppt 6 of 10

Adva ntages

* Integration of technical basis helps ensurecompleteness

* Context of integrated technical basis allows moretransparent discussion of bases for informationrequested

- Relevance generally is related to process, model,parameter, data or testing uncertainty

Early communication of licensing technical basis toNRC

- Expected to facilitate review of the License Application (LA)

- Otherwise, individual KTI Agreements are addressed inattachments to appropriate technical basis descriptions

* IKTI Agreements scheduled to be available after LAsubmittal are identified in our FY03-05 Plan

Coonclusion

o DOE has recognized and responded to issues thatdelayed delivery of KTI Agreement responses

o Our current approach provides a more integratedtechnical product that meets our KTI Agreementswithin the context of how the Yucca MountainRepository is expected to perform
