D910718 The Honorable Ivan Selin Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Chairman Selin:

SUBJECT:

SCHEDULES FOR ADVANCED REACTOR REVIEWS During the 375th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, July 11-13, 1991, we discussed the staff's proposed "realistic" schedules identified in SECY-91-161 for completing the reviews of the evolutionary and passive advanced light water reactor (ALWR) design certification applications and the review of the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI) ALWR Utility Requirements Document. We had the benefit of presentations by and discussions with members of the NRC staff and NUMARC, as well as the documents referenced. Consideration of this matter by the Committee was based on the request of the Commission, as reflected in Staff Requirements Memorandum M910607A dated June 18, 1991.

We believe that, barring unforeseen circumstances, the ACRS will be able to meet these schedules. Note, however, that the time required for Committee review of the final SERs and FDAs will be three months, as stated in the text of SECY-91-161, rather than two months as shown on the bar charts.

Sincerely, David A. Ward Chairman
