SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a standard design approval (SDA) to Korea Electric Power Corporation and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd (KEPCO/KHNP) for the advanced power reactor 1400 (APR1400) standard design under Subpart E, Standard Design Approvals, of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 52, Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants. This SDA allows the APR1400 standard design to be referenced in an application for a construction permit or operating license under 10 CFR part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, or an application for a combined license or manufacturing license under 10 CFR part 52. In addition, the Commission has issued the final safety evaluation report (FSER) (ADAMS Accession No. ML18087A364) that supports issuance of the SDA.
Issuance of this SDA signifies completion of the NRC staffs technical review of KEPCO/KHNPs APR1400 design. The NRC staff performed its technical review of the APR1400 design control document in accordance with the standards for review of 3
standard design approval applications set forth in 10 CFR 52.139, Standards for Review of Applications.
On the basis of its evaluation and independent analyses, as described in the FSER, the NRC staff concludes that KEPCO/KHNPs application for standard design approval meets the applicable portions of 10 CFR 52.137, Content of Applications; Technical Information, and the review standards identified in 10 CFR 52.139.
