Docketing and Service Branch REOUESTS FOR COMMENTS ON PROPOSED DESIGN CERTIFICATION RULES FOR STANDARDIZED ADVANCED REACTORS (60 FEDERAL REGISTER 17902 AND 17924); WISCONSIN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY COMMENTS Wisconsin Electric Power Company is submitting the following comments in response to the Federal Register notices (April 7,

We understand that these design certification rules are intended to achieve, among other things, early resolution of safety issues, enhanced safety and reliability of future nuclear power plants, and a more stable and predictable licensing process.

Wisconsin Electric is deeply committed to the development of advanced reactor technology and has demonstrated this commitment through its participation in and support of the industry's advanced reactor initiatives.

We are also committed to the goals of 10 CFR 52 as stated in the subject Notices of Proposed Rulemaking.

These j

goals prcvide an essential foundation for the continuance of nuclear i

power as a viable generating option in the future energy market-place.

Wisconsin Electric has been involved in the review of these i

proposed rules and the development of the industry position.

For these reasons, Wisconsin Electric wishes to endorse the industry comments which have been developed and are being submitted by the Nuclear Energy Institute.

We urge the Commission to carefully consider the industry comments and to adopt the recommendations therein to ensure the workability and viability of the design certification rules and the Part 52 licensing process.

Sincerely,
