RE: Your email to NRC Chairman Svinicki Date: Monday, March 25, 2019 11:11:00 AM Hello Mr. Mansour; Thank you for your email to our Chairman. In the future, please feel free to contact our Office of Public Affairs directly at OPA.Resource@nrc.gov or me personally.

The U.S. NRC announced its final design approval for the APR-1400 in October of last year:

https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1828/ML18283A102.pdf The U.S. NRC is currently in the final stages of completing a rule that will fully certify the APR-1400 for potential U.S. use. Please keep in mind the United Arab Emirates has its own nuclear regulator (https://fanr.gov.ae/en) and is therefore in the best position to discuss how the APR-1400 is being built and regulated in that country. Thank you.

Scott Burnell Public Affairs Officer U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
