SUBJECT:

FINAL SAFETY EVALUATION FOR NUSCALE POWER, LLC TOPICAL REPORT-0915-17564, REVISION 2, SUBCHANNEL ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY

Dear Mr. Bergman:

By letter dated February 15, 2017, NuScale Power, LLC (NuScale), submitted Topical Report (TR)-0915-17564-P, Subchannel Analysis Methodology, Revision 1, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff for review and approval in support of the application for the design certification of NuScales small modular reactor. By letter dated October 31, 2018, NuScale submitted TR-0915-17564, Revision 2, Subchannel Analysis Methodology, which incorporate changes from requests for additional information responses.

The NRC staff has found that TR-0915-17564, Revision 2, is acceptable for referencing in licensing applications for the NuScale small modular reactor design to the extent specified and under the conditions and limitations delineated in the enclosed safety evaluation report (SER).

The SER defines the basis for acceptance of the TR.

The NRC staff requests that NuScale publish the applicable version(s) of the SER listed above within three months of receipt of this letter. The accepted version of the TR shall incorporate this letter and the enclosed SER and add -A (designated accepted) following the report identification number.

Document transmitted herewith contains sensitive unclassified information. When separated from the enclosure, this document is DECONTROLLED.

CONTACT: Bruce M. Bavol, NRO/DLSE 301-415-6715

OFFICIAL USE ONLY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION T. Bergman 2 If the NRC staffs criteria or regulations change, so that its conclusion that the SER is acceptable is invalidated, NuScale and/or the applicant referencing the SER will be expected to revise and resubmit its respective documentation, or submit justification for continued applicability of the SER without revision of the respective documentation.

Prior to placing the public version of this document in the publicly available records component of NRCs Agencywide Documents and Access Management System (ADAMS), the NRC staff requests that NuScale perform a final review of the SER for proprietary or security related information not previously identified. If you believe that any additional information meets the criteria, please identify such information line by line and define the basis pursuant to the criteria established in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2, Section 390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding.

If after a 10-day period, you do not request that all or portions of the SER be withheld from public disclosure, the SER will be made available for public inspection through the publicly available records component of NRCs ADAMS.
