tial approach to the proposed maximum licensed thermal power level, including verification of adequate plant performance, (2) transient testing requirements necessary to demonstrate that the plant can be operated safely at the proposed increased maximum licensed thermal power level, and (3) the test program's conformance with applicable regulations. The staff finds that there is reasonable assurance that the applicant's EPU testing program satisfies the requirements of Criterion Xl, 'Test Control,'of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and is therefore acceptable." I DRAFT Rev. 0 - December 2002 14.2.1-11 V. IMPLEMENTATION This SRP section will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of EPU license amendment applications submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90. This SRP is not intended to be used in place of plant-specific licensing bases to assess the acceptability of an EPU application. Applicability of this SRP is determined on a plant-specific basis consistent with the licensing basis of the plant. In addition, where the NRC has approved a specific methodology (e.g., topical report) for the type of power uprate being requested, licensees should follow the format prescribed for that specific methodology and provide the information called for in that methodology and the NRC's letter and safety evaluation approving the methodology. Except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations.
