Letter MFN 034-96, J. E. Quinn (GE) to T. R. Quay (NRC), SBWR -

Redirecting Focus, dated March 4,1996.

As discussed in the Reference 1 letter, GE Nuclear Energy is redirecting the focus ofits Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (SBWR) programs from plants of the 670 MWe size to plants of 1,000 MWe or larger. Consequently, GE will be substantially reducing the level of activity on the NRC/ACRS effort as it applies to the 670 MWe plant. However, GE would like to complete key open items.

Specifically, GE would like to receive written ACRS agreement that the TAPD Revision C document submitted August 28,1995, is complete and resolves the prior ACRS issues, and that ACRS agrees that the methodology used to scale the tests as presented in the Scaling Report Revision I submitted October 13,1995, is correct and complete and resolves the prior ACRS issues.

We would then like to cease ACRS activities en the 670 Mwe SBWR. We believe that ACRS could complete the work and issue the written communications by May 15,1995. We look forward to discussing this letter with you at your earliest convience.

Sincerely, yf "7
