Content:
e proposed use of the equipment, the operating procedures, the processes to be performed, and other technical requirements provide reasonable assurance that the applicant/licensee will comply with the regulations of 10 CFR 1–199 (Chapter I), "Nuclear Regulatory Commission," and that public health and safety will be protected. It is not intended that the review, audit, or inspection activities by the reviewer include a complete evaluation of all aspects of the design and implementation of the I&C system. The review scope need only be sufficient to allow the reviewer to reach the conclusion of reasonable assurance described above. Subject to compliance with existing license commitments, compliance with current applicable regulations, and protection of the public health and safety, the reviewer may consider and use previous interpretations of regulations as they apply to the application under review. Therefore, if the review includes I&C systems that are identified as substantially identical to systems that have been previously reviewed and approved by the Staff, evaluation of these systems may be based on prior Staff approval. If any aspect of a design is not identical to the one that is referenced, an evaluation must be made to address the adequacy of the different design. Conclusions drawn from this review must be included in the safety evaluation report (SER). Plant license applications and license amendment applications may reference systems, equipment families, or specific equipment previously described in topical reports and reviewed by the Staff. Typically, the NRC SER for such items includes generic or plant-specific open items that could not be resolved at the time of the original review. The Staff's review of applications proposing use of previously reviewed designs should confirm that the SER open items are acceptably resolved for the proposed application. Figure 7.0-3 illustrates the life-cycle activities for any I&C system and relates the application
