UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, DC 20555 - 0001 November 4, 2020 Ms. Margaret M. Doane Executive Director for Operations U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
SUBJECT:
ACRS REVIEW OF STAFF RESPONSE TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS LETTER ON NUSCALE POWER, LLC, AREA OF FOCUS - BORON REDISTRIBUTION
Dear Ms. Doane:
During the 679th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS),
October 8-9, 2020, the Committee considered the staffs August 25, 2020 response to the July 29, 2020 ACRS letter on NuScale Area of Focus - Boron Redistribution. The Committee disagreed with the staffs response to Conclusions and Recommendations 4, 5, and 6. As stated in our July 29, 2020 letter, Report on the Safety Aspects of the NuScale Small Modular Reactor, the Committee plans to address the boron redistribution area of focus as part of a future review of a potential license application that references the certified NuScale design or standard design approval.
A response is not requested.
Sincerely, Matthew W. Sunseri, Chairman Matthew W. Sunseri Digitally signed by Matthew W. Sunseri Date: 2020.11.04 18:37:13 -05'00'
