SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF OCTOBER 17, 2024, PREAPPLICATION MEETING WITH WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY ON AP300 SMALL MODULAR REACTOR SAFETY ANALYSIS CODES AND METHODOLOGY WHITE PAPER On October 17, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a virtual public meeting with Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC). The purpose of the meeting was to hear WECs preapplication description of a future white paper for the AP300 small modular reactor (SMR) on the topic of its safety analysis codes and methodology strategy. 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. By letter dated October 9, 2024, available via Agencywide Documents and Access Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML24284A287, WEC submitted the public presentation slides for this meeting found at ML24284A289. The meeting was divided into two sessions: a public session followed by a proprietary session.
WEC staff presented at both the public and proprietary sessions. During the open session, WEC representatives provided a high-level overview of their use of safety analyses for the AP300 SMR 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.
CONTACT: Jordan Glisan, NRR/DNRL 301-415-3478
