NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 52-001]

 

Notice of Issuance of Final Design Approval Pursuant to 10 CFR 
Part 52, Appendix 0; U.S. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor Design; GE 
Nuclear Energy

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a revised 
final design approval (FDA) to GE Nuclear Energy (GE) pursuant to 
Appendix 0 of part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(10 CFR). This FDA allows the U.S. advanced boiling water reactor 
(ABWR) standard design to be referenced in an application for a 
construction permit or operating license pursuant to 10 CFR part 50 or 
in an application for a combined license pursuant to 10 CFR part 52 for 
a period of 15 years.
    The FDA is being revised to clarify that the Commission intends for 
the term of the FDA to be coterminus with the term of any design 
certification rule for the ABWR. The FDA was originally issued on July 
13, 1994, with an expiration date of July 13, 1999. The revised FDA has 
an expiration date 15 years from the date of the originally issued FDA, 
i.e., July 13, 2009. In all other respects, the revised FDA is 
identical to the original FDA. Nothing in this revision to the FDA 
changes any finding made in connection with the original issuance of 
the FDA.
    A copy of the FDA has been placed in NRC's Public Document Room, 
the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555, for 
review by interested persons.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 23rd day of November, 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Dennis M. Crutchfield,
Associate Director for Advanced Reactors and License Renewal, Office of 
Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
