issues relating to matters discussed or

concerns issues relating to matters 

discussed or referenced in the 

Emergency Plan as it relates to the

5. Miscellaneous—does not fall into

If the requester/petitioner believes a 

contention raises issues that cannot be

these categories, the requester/petitioner 

must set forth the contention and 

supporting bases, in full, separately for 

each category into which the requester/ 

petitioner asserts the contention belongs 

with a separate designation for that 

category. 

Requesters/petitioners should, when 

possible, consult with each other in 

preparing contentions and combine 

similar subject matter concerns into a 

joint contention, for which one of the 

co-sponsoring requesters/petitioners is 

designated the lead representative. 

Further, in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that 

wishes to adopt a contention proposed 

by another requester/petitioner must do 

so, in accordance with the E-Filing rule, 

within ten days of the date the 

contention is filed, and designate a 

representative who shall have the 

authority to act for the requester/ 

petitioner. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(g), 

a request for hearing and/or petition for 

leave to intervene may also address the 

selection of the hearing procedures, 

taking into account the provisions of 10 

CFR 2.310.

AREVA NP Inc.; Notice of Receipt of 

Application for Design Certification of 

the U.S. EPR 

Notice is hereby given that the 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 

the Commission) has received an 

application from AREVA NP Inc. 

(AREVA) dated December 11, 2007, 

filed pursuant to section 103 of the 

Atomic Energy Act and Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

Part 52, for standard design certification 

of the U.S. EPR Standard Plant Design. 

The U.S. EPR design is an 

approximately 1600 megawatts electric 

evolutionary pressurized water reactor 

(PWR). The primary system design, loop 

configuration, and main components 

design are similar to those of currently 

operating PWRs. The U.S. EPR contains 

unique design features, such as four 

redundant trains of emergency core 

cooling; Containment and Shield 

Building, and a core melt retention 

system for severe accident mitigation. 

The U.S. EPR application includes the 

entire power generation complex,
