Reference:
Letter, D. R. Wilkins to T. E. Murley, " Comparison of ALWR Requirements Document and GE ABWR ~ SSAR j
Design," dated June 12,1990 R
'I Dear Dr. Murley.
For the past several years, EPRI, DOE and the suppliers' have been cooperating
{
to develop requirements and designs for future ALWRs. This effort has.
included close cooperation between EPRI and GE to achieve consistency -
3 between the GE ABWR design for U.S.'certific' tion and the ALWR : '
a Requirements Document.
,i The reference letter provides the NRC with the comparison of the ABWR j
SSAR design with the current ALWR Requirements Document., The results
. of this comparison were reviewed with the EPRI ALWR Program staff prior-to submittal, and reflect consistency of the ABWR SSAR design with the ALWR requirements. It reflects several years of dedicated effort by the Utility Steering Committee, EPRI and GE to resolve issues., and demonstrates a high
~
i degree of consensus within the industry on requirements and design for future BWRs.
The differences which exist between the ALWR Requirements and the' ABWR SSAR design are understandable given the fact that these programs were proceeding in parallel before all the issues could be completely resolved.'
Many of these differences represent areas where GE has elected to meet.
existing regulatory positions and requirements. The Utility Steering _
a Committee is pursuing altemate resolution of these issues on future ALWR' designs.

Certification of ALWRs which meet U.S. utility requirements, and Ij demonstration of the new 10CFR Part 52 Standard Plant licensing process,' are-key objectives of the ALWR Program.- The GE ABWR SSAR design, which.
' incorporates U.S. utility ALWR requirements to a high degree, provides a '
unique opportunit licensing process. y to demonstrate the new 10CFR Part 52 Standard Plantj EPRI fully: supports issuance of the Final Design Approval and certification of the ABWR SSAR design on the current schedule.
