December 18, 2024 MEMORANDUM TO:
Michelle W. Hayes, Chief Licensing and Infrastructure Branch Division of New and Renewed Licenses Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation FROM:
William (Billy) Gleaves, Senior Project Manager /RA/
Licensing and Infrastructure Branch Division of New and Renewed Licenses Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF OCTOBER 31, 2024, PREAPPLICATION MEETING WITH WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY ON AP300 SMALL MODULAR REACTOR PROBABILISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT On October 31, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a virtual public meeting with Westinghouse Electric Company. The purpose of the meeting was to hear Westinghouses preapplication description of a future white paper for the AP300 small modular reactor (SMR) on the topic of the AP300 probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). 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. ML24302A205. The meeting was divided into two sessions: a public session followed by a closed, proprietary session.
Westinghouse staff presented at both the public and proprietary sessions and during the proprietary session they received NRC staff comments on the proprietary details of their plans.
Preapplication engagements, including this meeting, provide an opportunity for the NRC staff to engage in early discussions with a prospective applicant to offer high level comments and to identify potential licensing issues early in the licensing process. No official review or evaluation has been completed and no decisions or commitments were made during the preapplication meeting.

A list of attendees at the public session is enclosed. There were 40 participants identified, including NRC staff, Westinghouse staff, and members of the public.
When the public attendees were solicited for questions of the NRC staff, one question was offered on the applicability of 10 CFR 52.27 on Limited Work Authorizations (LWA), to which the staff responded that the LWA process is not related to the design certification process in 10 CFR Part 52.
The public meeting ended at 1:18 p.m. EDT.
