NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Notice of Issuance of Final Design Approval and Final Safety 
Evaluation Report, Supplement 1, for AP1000 Standard Plant Design; 
Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a revised 
final design approval (FDA) to Westinghouse for the AP1000 design under 
10 CFR Part 52, Appendix O. This FDA allows the AP1000 design to be 
referenced in an application for a construction permit or an operating 
license under 10 CFR Part 50 or in an application for a combined 
license under 10 CFR Part 52. The FDA was revised to make it 
coterminous with the design certification rule that was issued on 
January 27, 2006, (Appendix D to 10 CFR Part 52). This FDA supersedes 
the FDA dated September 13, 2004.
    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has also issued Supplement 1 
to the final safety evaluation report (FSER) related to the 
certification of the AP1000 standard plant design. The FSER (NUREG-
1793) and Supplement 1 thereto supports issuance of the revised FDA.
    A copy of the AP1000 FDA and Supplement 1 to the FSER have been 
placed in the NRC's Public Document Room for review and copying by 
interested persons.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day of March 2006.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Laura A. Dudes,
Branch Chief, New Reactor Licensing Branch, Division of New Reactor 
Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
