Correspondence and Public Meetings Related to the US-APWR Design Certification Application
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) considers public involvement in, and information about, our activities to be a cornerstone of strong, fair regulation of the nuclear industry. As such, the NRC believes that nuclear regulation should be transacted as openly and candidly as possible to maintain and enhance the public’s confidence. Ensuring appropriate openness explicitly recognizes that the public must be informed about, and have a reasonable opportunity to participate meaningfully in, the NRC’s regulatory processes. Toward that end, this page provides access to the following information related to the application for certification of the U.S. Advanced Pressurized-Water Reactor (US-APWR) as a standard design for a 4,451-MWt pressurized-water reactor (PWR):
