Dear Ms. Catts:

This SE will document the staffs review of your application dated December 7, 2010, to renew the ABWR design certification.

The staffs SE for Section 19.5, Aircraft Impact Assessment, is being provided to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) Subcommittee to support a future meeting of the ACRS Subcommittee.

The enclosed SE is being provided only to GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy for review of proprietary information pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding. The staff concludes that the enclosed SE does not contain any information for which exemption from public disclosure has been sought or approved or any factual errors. However, the NRC will withhold the enclosed SE from public disclosure for ten business days from the date of this letter to allow you the opportunity to verify the staffs conclusion that the SE contains no such exempt information or any factual errors. If within that ten day period, you do not request that all or portions of the SE be withheld from public disclosure, the enclosure will be made available for public inspection through the NRC Public Document Room and the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System and placed on the NRCs public web page for this application.
