SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated December 23, 2014, KHNP and 
KEPCO filed with the NRC, pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy 
Act and part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 
CFR), ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power 
Plants,'' an application for standard design certification of the 
APR1400 Standard Plant Design. A notice of receipt for this application 
was previously published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2015 
(80 FR 5792).
    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. According to the applicant, based 
on the self-reliant technologies and experiences from the design, 
construction, operation and maintenance of the Optimized Power Reactor 
1000 (OPR1000), the 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 NRC staff has determined that KHNP and KEPCO have submitted 
information in accordance with 10 CFR

[[Page 13036]]

part 2, ``Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and 
Issuance of Orders,'' and 10 CFR part 52 that is acceptable for 
docketing. The docket number established for this application is 52-
046.
    The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the 
design certification application. Docketing of the design certification 
application does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional 
information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it 
predict whether the NRC will grant or deny the application. A notice 
related to the 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 a subsequent Federal Register 
notice.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of March, 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Jeffrey A. Ciocco,
Senior Project Manager, Licensing Branch 2, Division of New Reactor 
Licensing, Office of New Reactors.
