SUBJECT:

SIGNING CEREMONY FOR THE ADVANCED POWER REACTOR 1400 DESIGN CERTIFICATION

Dear Mr. Chung:

On April 30, 2019, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the Final Rule for the Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400) Design Certification. The APR1400 Design Certification rule was published for public comment in the Federal Register on May 22, 2019, and the public comment period concluded on June 21, 2019, with no adverse comments received. The rule has an effective date 120 days from the initial publication which is September 19, 2019. The notice confirming the rule was published in the Federal Register on August 16, 2019.

In recognition of the final rule confirmation being published, we have been working with the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Washington, District of Columbia, Center to arrange for a signing ceremony to commemorate the on-time, 42-month, NRC technical review of the APR1400 Design Certification Application and the successful completion of the associated rulemaking. We are planning to have a signing ceremony on August 26, 2019, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, at the NRCs headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. We look forward to having you and other members of KHNP and the APR1400 team from the Republic of Korea.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-7038 or via e-mail at William.Ward@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
