SUMMARY

The Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) is issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and documents their review of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), which is prepared by companies seeking operating licenses for nuclear power plants. The FSER summarizes the NRC's evaluation of the FSAR and related submittals. Additionally, modern nuclear plants utilize Design Certification Documents (DCDs), which are akin to Preliminary Safety Analysis Reports (PSARs) and are governed by 10 CFR 52. Regulatory Guide 1.070 (Revision 3) outlines the standard format and content for Safety Analysis Reports.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Final Safety Analysis Reports (FSAR)
  • Familiarity with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) documentation
  • Knowledge of Design Certification Documents (DCDs)
  • Awareness of 10 CFR 52 regulations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifics of Regulatory Guide 1.070 (Revision 3)
  • Study the process of preparing a Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)
  • Learn about the implications of Design Certification Documents (DCDs) in nuclear regulation
  • Examine the requirements and processes outlined in 10 CFR 52
USEFUL FOR

Nuclear engineers, regulatory compliance professionals, and anyone involved in the licensing and safety evaluation of nuclear power plants will benefit from this discussion.

What is the difference between Final Safety Evaluation Report and Final Safety Analysis Report ?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
If I recall, the Final Safety Analysis Report is a document prepared by the company seeking an operating license for a nuclear power plant.

The Final Safety Evaluation Report is a document issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) documenting their review of the Final Safety Analysis Report.
 
Safety Evaluation Reports (SER) are prepared by the NRC. The document reports the results of the review performed by the NRC or contractors on submittals (e.g., Safety Analysis Reports, SAR) by utilities or suppliers.

See - Regulatory Guide 1.070 (Revision 3), Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, LWR Edition.

For modern plants, we have Design Certification Documents (DCDs), which are more or less PSARs, which are covered by 10CRF52.
