# 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                           ( print 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.
