CHAIRMAN CARR:
The process for the review of a standard design that would lead to a certified.
design includes the following major steps:

Second, NRC reviews the LRB document and issues it in a final form. Third, the applicant submits a safety analysis report and associated information required by 10 CFR Part 52.
Fourth. NRC reviews the safety analysis report and other information and issues Draft Safety Evaluation Reports.
Fifth, NRC issues Safety Evaluation Reports and Final Design Approval after resolution of open issues, and six, NRC issues a Design Certification af ter rulemaking.
The current schedule is to complete the Final Design Approval for the General Electric advar.ced boiling water reactor by December 1990 and issue the Design Certification by March 1992.
