Approval is a significant step toward design certification and will reduce the time ultimately needed to license the Westinghouse SMR, the company said yesterday.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In a letter dated 27\u00a0February, the NRC told Westinghouse that it has granted a Safety Evaluation Report for the licensing topical report that the company submitted in April 2012\u00a0for agency review and approval. The report identified what would occur in the unlikely event of accident due to a small break in water circuit that cools the reactor, and defined the test program that Westinghouse will conduct to prove that its safety systems would safely shut down the reactor in response to a such an accident.<\/p>\n<p>The Westinghouse SMR is derived from the AP1000\u00a0plant design, which received a design certification amendment from the NRC in 2011. Eight AP1000\u00a0units are currently under construction at four sites in the USA and China. This origin is \u201ca key benefit\u201d of the Westinghouse SMR, said Jeff Benjamin, Westinghouse senior vice president for new plants and major projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe development program has involved many years of testing and analysis, which can be successfully applied to advance our SMR program as the market for the technology matures in the future,\u201d Benjamin said. Westinghouse believes the NRC action \u201cconfirms the technical maturity\u201d of the Westinghouse SMR concept design, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Westinghouse said the potential for intermediate and large breaks in the reactor coolant loop\u00a0\u2014 and the correspondingly more serious accident conditions\u00a0\u2014 is eliminated in the Westinghouse SMR design because there are no large primary penetrations of the reactor vessel or large loop piping. The design is an integral pressurized water reactor with all primary components located inside of the reactor vessel. As a power unit it would produce 225\u00a0MWe in operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved Westinghouse\u2019s testing approach for its small modular reactor design.
