RISK-INFORMED REVIEWS OF INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL (I&C) SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS: INTEGRATING RISK INSIGHTS INTO THE DIGITAL I&C (DI&C) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
The objective of this work is to provide support in developing the technical basis for integrating risk insights into the regulatory framework for DI&C systems and components by: (1) assessing the technical feasibility of risk-informed approaches and gaps associated with further integrating risk insights into regulatory reviews for DI&C systems and components; (2) as applicable , piloting a risk-informed categorization process that is compatible with (i.e., not inconsistent with) the existing regulatory framework, including Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.69, to classify DI&C systems and components with respect to risk insights and safety significance; and (3) develop recommendations to enhance the use of risk insights within the existing risk-informed regulatory framework for DI&C systems.
