December 9, 2019 MEMORANDUM TO: Scott W. Moore, Executive Director Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards FROM: Anna H. Bradford, Director /RA/

Division of New and Renewed Licenses Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

SUBJECT:

NUSCALE POWER, LLC, DESIGN CERTIFICATION APPLICATION - SAFETY EVALUATION WITH NO OPEN ITEMS FOR CHAPTER 6, ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES On January 6, 20171, NuScale Power, LLC (NuScale) submitted its Standard Plant Design Certification Application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review, approval, and granting of standard design certification for the NuScale Standard Plant Design. NuScales letter is available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession No. ML17013A229.

Based on our review of the application, the NRC staff is providing the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) its safety evaluation (SE) with no open items for Chapter 6, Engineered Safety Features. The SE is being provided for your information and to support a briefing of the ACRS, if deemed necessary.

The NRC staff concludes that the SE does not contain any information exempt from public disclosure. However, the NRC will withhold the SE from public disclosure for ten business days to allow NuScale the opportunity to verify the NRC staffs conclusion that the SE contains no such exempt information. Therefore, the NRC staff requests that the ACRS withhold the SE from public disclosure until the information has been released publicly in ADAMS.

Docket No.52-048 CONTACT: Omid Tabatabai, NRR/DNRL 301-415-6616 1

The Design Certification Application was submitted via a transmittal letter dated December 31, 2016.
