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.
