Are draft documents required to be included in the LSN?
A. The NRC regulations at 10 CFR 2, Subpart J differentiate between a “circulated draft” and a “preliminary draft.” A “circulated draft” is defined at 10 CFR 2.1001 as “a nonfinal document circulated for supervisory concurrence or signature in which the original author or others in the concurrence process have non-concurred.” Circulated drafts are required to be included in the LSN, regardless of whether the draft eventually becomes a final document or not. A “preliminary draft” is defined at 10 CFR 2.1001 as “any nonfinal document that is not a circulated draft.” Preliminary drafts are not required to be included in the LSN but, if a preliminary draft relates to material that may be relevant to the NRC licensing proceeding, it should be segregated and retained.
