SUMMARY
OF FEBRUARY 2, 2024, PREAPPLICATION MEETINGS WITH WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY ON AP300 SMR WHITE PAPER NO. 5 ON CORE DESIGN & FUEL CYCLE On February 2, 2024, at 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time (ET), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a hybrid public meeting with representatives of Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC). The purpose of the meeting was to hear WECs preapplication description of the AP300 Small Modular Reactor (SMR) core design and fuel cycle that will be discussed in greater detail in a white paper WEC plans to submit on the same topic. The AP300 design is largely based on the AP1000 certified design with changes that reflect the smaller power output, lessons learned from the AP1000 construction, and a simplification of features. The public presentation slides for this meeting may be found under Agencywide Documents and Access Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML24031A569 and ML24031A570. The meeting was divided into two sessions: a public session followed by a proprietary session. WEC discussed its proprietary slides (ML24031A571 non-public) during the proprietary session.
WEC staff presented at both the public and proprietary sessions and during the proprietary session they received NRC staff feedback on the proprietary details of their plans and general design.
Preapplication engagements, including this meeting, provide an opportunity for the NRC staff to engage in early discussions with a prospective applicant to offer licensing guidance and to identify potential licensing issues early in the licensing process. No decisions or commitments were made during the preapplication meeting.
A list of attendees at the public session is enclosed. There were approximately 33 participants remotely including NRC staff, WEC staff, and 6 members of the public.
CONTACT: William (Billy) Gleaves 301-415-5848
M. Hayes When the public attendees were solicited for questions of the NRC staff, no questions were proffered. The public meeting ended at 10:59 am ET. The proprietary session started at 11:00 a.m. and closed at 12:10 p.m. ET.
