In July 2023, Kairos Power LLC submitted its Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) (Reference 1) in support of the construction permit application (CPA) for the Hermes 2 non -power reactor. In October 2023, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission provided the Hermes 2 General Audit Plan (Reference 2). As a result of that audit, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provided two requests for confirmation of information (RCIs) that the staff will use in their preliminary safety evaluation (Reference 3). The enclosure to this letter provides Kairos Powers confirmation of each RCI. Kairos Power requests NRC review of this information in support of continued review of the Hermes 2 CPA.
