Safety Evaluation Report of Barakah Units 1 and

36
SER Summary-CLA Barakah Units 1&2
Conclusions – provides a definitive statement as to whether the FANR regulations for the
SER section of review have been met.
Appendix – provides the Requests for Additional Information issued by the FANR staff to
support the review process and the disposition of those RAIs.
4.5.3 Requests for Additional Information (RAIs)
In the review of the PSAR, the FANR staff determined in some cases that there was the
need for a Request for Additional Information (RAI). The RAIs were formally sent to the
applicant, and the applicant was required to provide a formal response. Each response to
an RAI was then evaluated by the FANR staff to determine if the additional information
provided was adequate. In general, the RAI and its response supplement the information in
the PSAR, thus this information in many cases is or will be incorporated into the PSAR at a
subsequent revision of the PSAR.
In addition, a process was also put into place for a Request for Information (RFI) from KINS
when additional detail was needed beyond what KINS documented in their SER for Shin-
Kori Units 3 and 4.
A database has been arranged for storing and retrieving the more than 1600 RAIs issued by
FANR together with the responses provided by ENEC, and the evaluation of the response by
the FANR staff. A list of the RAI correspondence is provided in the full version of the Safety
Evaluation Report.
4.5.4 Compliance with FANR Regulation
The Barakah Units 1 and 2 PSAR Section 3.14, “Conformance with Federal Authority for
Nuclear Regulation (FANR) Regulations,” summarizes how the application complies with the
applicable FANR regulations and includes references to sections of the PSAR where more
detailed information is given. FANR has evaluated PSAR Section 3.14 to ensure that the
applicant has provided sufficient information to ensure conformance with each of the
applicable FANR regulations.
4.5.5 Conditional Acceptance of ENEC Commitments
It is recognized by FANR that not all the design or operational information is available at the
construction application stage. FANR also recognizes that the entire design information is
not needed for issuance of a Construction Licence, and pieces of information can reasonably
be left for later consideration to be satisfactorily resolved at or before the latest date stated
for completion of the construction of the Barakah 1 and 2. Therefore, commitments and
undertakings made by ENEC in the PSAR and in RAI responses to provide information or to
complete actions after the issuance of the Construction Licence are evaluated by the FANR
staff for Conditional Acceptance. These commitments fall into the following four categories.
• Provide an update to the PSAR including information from RAI responses
• Provide the information in the Final Safety Analysis Report or in one of the other
documents that is provided with the Operating Licence Application (OLA) which will
be evaluated during the next phase of the FANR review for Barakah Units 1 and 2
• Provide information at a certain date after Construction Licence issuance
