Subject:

NEPA/SAMI) A Submittal for the ABWR j i

In the Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) dated October 25,1991, related to 1 SECY-91-229," Severe Accident Mitigation Design Alternatives for Certified Standard Designs" .

(July 31,1991), the Commission directed the Staff to address severe accident mitigation design alternatives (SAMDAs) for certified designs in a single rulemaking process that considers both i the 10CFR5034(f) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements, and to require >

applicants for a design certification to assess SAMDAs.  !

In accordance with this SRM, enclosed is a Tech 1ical Support Document (TSD) for the General Electric (GE) Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR). The TSD provides assessments of  ;

SAMDAs, severe accident prevention measures and radiological impacts from normal operation )

for the ABWR. This document is largely based upon the safety assessment of mitigative and :j preventive measures provided in Appendix 19P of the Standard Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) i for the ABWR. GE believes that the TSD provides a sufficient basis for NRC to issue an  ;

amendment to 10CFR51 which concludes:

1) that the probability of severe accidents in the ABWR is remote and -

speculative,

2) that the risks of severe accidents and the radiological impacts of normal operation of the ABWR do not constitute a significant impact to the quality of the human environment, and 1

I

3) that there are no reasonable alternatives for reducing these risks or impacts.
