April 29, 1993 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Joseph I. Lieberman United States Senate Washington, D.C.
20510
Dear Senator Lieberman:
On behalf of the Commission, I am responding to your letter of April 12, 1993, in which you expressed support for the careful and timely NRC review of advanced light-water reactor designs, especially the two evolutionary desigt.s now being submitted in bids to Taiwan.
The timely completion of these reviews remains a top NRC priority, and we will ensure that resources are available to pursue the certification of both these evolutionary designs.
The NRC staff is developing the final safety evaluation reports for the ABWR and the System 80+ designs. This is the culmination of years of vendor and staff effort to identify and resolve technical and policy issues that affect the designs.
In SECY-93-041, " Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) Review Schedule," the staff proposed an aggressive review schedule for that design. The Commission has just received SECY-93-097, which contains the revised integrated review schedule for the evolutionary and advanced light water reactor designs.
I am enclosing a copy of SECY-93-097 for your information.
We are also sensitive to the role that our design review may have in the international market. We have been and will continue to be responsive to j
vendor requests that are needed to ensure that U.S. suppliers are not disadvantaged in international competitions.
We will keep you informed about the schedules for our reviews of the evolu-i tionary and advanced passive light water reactors.
j Sincerely, w
1 Ivan Selin i
