Standard Plant Design.
    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. Based on the self-reliant 
technologies and experiences from the design, construction, operation

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 
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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of October 2013.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
