Dear'Mr. Kleimola:
j mm 1
{
cI am responding to your' letter of August 21, ~1'9 9 0, regarding the information you had ~ sent relative'- to your Passive: Containment.
-- i System's engineered' safety feature design.
l 1
c, lAs I. wrote you-in myfletter of April' 26,'1990, the'information a
._as< forwarded to the' staff currently reviewing advanced reactor-w
(
x.
designs.
.I did not expect-the staff to make a finding.as:to:the-imerits >of the design,' but rather expected that they ~would be aware ~
y
~
s
.of'the concept as they developed - requiremerres. and criteria. forn j
advanced' reactors.
The goal was, primarily,. not.to preclude: a i
designiof this nature >if it.were appropriately a part of a-. design >
Li2 submitted-for certification, a.
-Generally,.the staff will not make a conclusion as to the merits
=of"a design unless itiis submitted as part of an application'for Lcertification-and licensing._
Accordingly, your best course;of:
Y actionD at Lthis time-would:- be :to _ approach the ' vendors who are
!. designing.the next_ generation of: nuclear power plants.
j
.Pleasel accept my apology for any. misunderstanding,that!may have j
resulted from my; earlier response.
