Dear Chairman Sunseri,
In your letter dated March 26, 2020 (ML20086Q959), the ACRS reported on the Committees review of the NRC staffs safety evaluation of the NuScale topical report TR-0716-50350, Revision 1, Rod Ejection Accident Methodology.
Your letter contained the following two conclusions and recommendations:
- 1. Topical report TR-0716-50350 provides an acceptable methodology for analyses of rod ejection accidents, subject to the limitation of its application to the NuScale reactor design.
- 2. The staffs SE report should be issued.
The NRC staff appreciates the ACRSs review and recommendation and plans to issue the approved version of the topical report by June 2020.
The NRC staff also appreciates the time and effort the ACRS has devoted to this important subject, as reflected in meetings held with the ACRS Subcommittee for NuScale on February 19-20, 2020, and the ACRS Full Committee on March 5-6 2020, and looks forward to future interactions with the Committee as part of its NuScale review activities.
Best regards, Rob
