SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated December 23, 2014, KHNP and
KEPCO filed with the NRC, pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy
Act and part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power
Plants,'' an application for standard design certification of the
APR1400 Standard Plant Design. A notice of receipt for this application
was previously published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2015
(80 FR 5792).
The APR1400 stands for Advanced Power Reactor with a 1,400
megawatts electrical power and two-loop pressurized water reactor,
developed in the Republic of Korea. According to the applicant, based
on the self-reliant technologies and experiences from the design,
construction, operation and maintenance of the Optimized Power Reactor
1000 (OPR1000), the APR1400 adopts advanced design features to enhance
plant safety, economical efficiency, and convenience of operation and
maintenance. The APR1400 application includes the entire power
generation complex, except those elements and features considered site-
specific.
The NRC staff has determined that KHNP and KEPCO have submitted
information in accordance with 10 CFR
[[Page 13036]]
part 2, ``Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and
Issuance of Orders,'' and 10 CFR part 52 that is acceptable for
docketing. The docket number established for this application is 52-
046.
The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the
design certification application. Docketing of the design certification
application does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional
information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it
predict whether the NRC will grant or deny the application. A notice
related to the rulemaking pursuant to 10 CFR 52.51 for design
certification, including provisions for participation of the public and
other parties, will be the subject of a subsequent Federal Register
notice.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of March, 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Jeffrey A. Ciocco,
Senior Project Manager, Licensing Branch 2, Division of New Reactor
Licensing, Office of New Reactors.
