NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, LTD.; Notice of Receipt of
Application for Design Certification of the US-APWR
Notice is hereby given that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC,
the Commission) has received an application from Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries (MHI), Ltd. Dated December 31, 2007, filed pursuant to
section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act and Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 52, for standard design certification
of the US-APWR Standard Plant Design.
The US-APWR design is an approximately 1,700 megawatts electric,
four-loop, advanced pressurized water reactor (APWR). MHI developed the
US-APWR based on technologies for a 1,538 megawatts electric APWR
planned for use in Japan. The US-APWR is based on the latest
technologies to improve plant efficiency, reduce plant building volume,
and provide a 24-month fuel cycle. The US-APWR application includes the
entire power generation complex, except those elements and features
considered site-specific. The acceptability of the tendered application
for docketing and other matters relating to the requested 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 subsequent Federal Register notices.
A copy of the application will be available for public inspection
at the Commission's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
Publicly available records will be accessible from the Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Public Electronic
Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The accession number for the application is
