analysis is acceptable. The licensee should state the rationale supporting the acceptability of proposed changes by integrating probabilistic insights with traditional considerations for a final risk determination. That determination should consider continued compliance with applicable rules and regulations, the adequacy of the traditional engineering evaluation of the proposed change, and the change in plant risk as to acceptance guidelines. All these areas should be addressed adequately before the change is acceptable. 3. Element 3: Define Implementation and Monitoring Program. The reviewer should confirm whether the licensee has considered implementation and performance monitoring strategies so (A) no safety degradation occurs because of the TS changes and (B) the engineering evaluation of the impact of the proposed changes reflects the actual reliability and availability of TS structures, systems, and components (SSCs) evaluated. This confirmation ensures that the conclusions drawn from the evaluation remain valid. 4. Element 4: Submit Proposed Change. The final element is documentation of the analyses and submission of the license amendment request. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: SRP Section 16.0 provides general review guidance for TS. This SRP section is used as referenced from SRP Section 16.0 for review of risk-informed applications. 16.1-5 Revision 1 - March 2007 SRP Section 19.1 provides general review guidance for determining the technical adequacy of PRA results for risk-informed activities. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements/SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified in SRP Section 16.0 are as follows for review described in Subsection I of this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC's
