letter dated June 25, 2025, Appalachian Power Company (APCo) submitted Revision 1 of the topical report (TR) Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) for the Appalachian Power Small Modular Reactor Early Site Permit Activities, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML25176A216), to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The NRC staff has prepared a final safety evaluation for APCo QAPD, Revision 1. The non-proprietary final safety evaluation is enclosed (ML25251A129).The NRC staff has found APCo QAPD, Revision 1, to be acceptable for referencing in future licensing applications to the extent specified and under the limitations and conditions delineated in the attached final safety evaluation.
The NRC staff requests that APCo publish the accepted version of this TR within three months of receipt of this electronic mail. The accepted version shall incorporate this electronic mail and the enclosed final safety evaluation after the title page. It must be well indexed such that information is readily located.Also, it must contain historical review information, including NRC requests for additional information and accepted responses.
The accepted version of the TR shall include a -A (designated accepted) following the report identification number.
If the NRCs criteria or regulations change such that the NRC staffs conclusion in this electronic mail (that the TR is acceptable) is invalidated, APCo and/or the applicant referencing the TR will be expected to either revise and resubmit its respective documentation or to submit justification for continued applicability of the TR without revision of the respective documentation.
