By letter dated November 23, 2022, NuScale submitted the first part of its application (nonpublic, withheld pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390) for a standard design approval of the NuScale US460 SMR design, pursuant to section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and part 52, subpart E, of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ Subsequently, NuScale submitted the remaining portions of its application in stages, between November 29, 2022, and December 31, 2022. The SDA application is available in ADAMS under Package Accession No. ML22339A066. As described in the November 21, 2022, letter, the application contains the final safety analysis report (FSAR) chapters and parts thereof. Supporting technical reports are cited throughout the application, some of which are attached to the corresponding FSAR chapter; other technical reports cited in the application are available as standalone documents in ADAMS, if publicly available. Following these submittals, NuScale submitted additional supporting licensing topical reports (LTRs), which were required to be submitted before the SDA application could be accepted for review. By January 8, 2023, NuScale submitted these LTRs to the NRC. The NRC staff is currently reviewing the application and supporting information to determine if it is sufficiently complete to be acceptable for docketing and for commencement of the staff’s detailed safety review. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing public notice of the receipt and availability of a standard design approval (SDA) application from NuScale Power, LLC (NuScale) for a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design.

The design is based on the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor developed at Oregon State University in the early 2000’s. The NuScale US460 SMR is a natural circulation light-water reactor with the reactor core and helical coil steam generator located in a common reactor vessel in a cylindrical steel containment. The NuScale power module is partly immersed in water in a safety related pool. The reactor pool is located below grade and is designed to hold up to six power modules. Each NuScale SMR has a rated thermal output of 250 megawatts thermal and an electrical output of 77 megawatts electric (MWe); accordingly, a plant containing six modules would have a total capacity of 462 MWe.
