SUBJECT:
COMPLETION OF THE AP600 REVIEW
Dear Mr. Cummins:
This letter is to. confirm the phone conversation between Westinghouse and the NRC regarding the submittal of the final portions of documentation necessary for the NRC to complete its review and issue its Final Safety Evaluation Report and the Final Design Approval for the AP600. Mr. Vijuk and Mr. McIntyre represented Westinghouse on the phone call. Mr. Quay and I represented the NRC.
'Your letter of August 11,1998, indicated that the Final Design Approval (FDA) is needed by Westinghouse very early in September 1998 so that Westinghouse can submit a viable proposal to Hungary for the Paks nuclear station. The phone call discussed the schedule and status of key
. AP600 submittals need to support granting an FDA as requested. The submittal dates were listed in the attached fax sent to the NRC on August 11,1998. The dates listed reflected extensive
- discussions with NRC the previous day. I want to emphasize that these dates must be met in order i
for the NRC to meet Westinghouse's request for an expedited FDA.
Sincerely, l
