BAW-10227P, Revision 2, Evaluation of Advanced Cladding and Structural Material (M5) in PWR [Pressurized Water Reactor] Reactor Fuel.

This revised draft safety evaluation (SE) replaces the previously issued draft SE (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML22035A015), based on additional information provided in Request for Additional Information responses dated August 31, 2022 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML22249A173). A copy of the draft SE (ADAMS Accession No. ML22290A225) has been placed in the box.com folder. Morris Byram, Framatome, has been given access to the folder. The draft SE is being provided for a proprietary information review. If Framatome provides comments on other areas, the NRC staff will exercise its discretion on whether to address those comments.

Pursuant to Section 2.390 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), we have determined that the draft SE may contain proprietary information. If you believe that any information in the draft SE is proprietary, please identify such information line-by-line and define the basis pursuant to the criteria of 10 CFR 2.390. Use bold brackets and yellow highlight to identify any [proprietary information].

Your response must be via a letter from an authorized individual. Please provide your response by November 30, 2022. The final SE will be issued after making any necessary changes. If Framatome would like to discuss the draft SE in detail, we can do that in a noticed meeting.

The draft SE has been placed in ADAMS. The draft SE was made an Official Agency Record and declared as nonpublic because it may contain proprietary information. This email will be placed into ADAMS, made an Official Agency Record, and declared public.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 301-415-6695 or by email at Ngola.Otto@nrc.gov.
