structure, policies, requirements, and processes. The NRC public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/) is a resource for such information and the site http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new- reactors.html is the source for current requirements, guidance, and information on new reactors and applications. In addition, the site provides extensive information on applications currently undergoing staff review and the licenses, certifications, and permits recently issued. The advanced reactors Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/advanced.html is the source for current regulatory and technical issues concerning advanced reactors and SMRs. In addition, the advanced reactors Web site provides specific information on the business entities currently engaged in preapplication activities and the respective reactor designs. Prospective applicants should be familiar with the identification and resolution of regulatory and technical issues encountered by prior applicants/preapplicants. The NRO and advanced reactors Web sites provide electronic links to the comprehensive publicly available information authored by both applicants/preapplicants and the staff throughout the application submittal and review process (e.g., preapplication public meetings, applicant-authored topical reports and FSARs, staff RAIs and applicant responses, and staff safety evaluation (SE) reports). The NRC staff recommends that prospective applicants review relevant information for insights into policy, regulatory, and technical issues. Plans and Schedules Prospective applicants should determine the appropriate preapplication activities relative to their respective plans, needs, and schedules. The preapplication activities should focus on what would be most beneficial both to the preparation and submittal of the application and to the NRC’s acceptance and detailed review of the application. Further, the activities should focus on what would achieve the most efficient use of both staff and applicant resources.
