uding specific areas of interest, is prepared by the NRC lead technical reviewer. The audit agenda is forwarded to the applicant by the LPM, at least two weeks prior to the start of the audit. The LPM should notify the appropriate regional office personnel, as well as any intervening parties, if applicable, about the forthcoming audit. 3. Audit Team The audit team consists of the LPM, the NRC lead technical reviewer, and a number of technical experts, comprised of NRC staff and/or NRC contractor staff. The LPM acts as the contact between the NRC audit team and the applicant. The NRC lead technical reviewer is responsible for the resolution of all technical issues, and will determine the number of team members and the areas of expertise needed to accomplish the audit objectives. 4. Number and Duration of Audits In general, two audits should be planned. The first audit is conducted after the staff’s review of the applicant’s initial responses to the staff’s RAIs. The second audit is conducted near the end of the review process. At the end of the second audit, the remaining unresolved technical issues should be clearly defined by the staff and clearly understood by the applicant. Usually, four working days should be planned for each audit, to allow sufficient time to complete the audit scope. 5. Audit Objectives (1) Obtain and review additional pertinent technical information that is not documented in the application (e.g., Sections 3.7.1 through 3.7.3 of the DCD. (2) Perform review of the applicant’s seismic analyses and calculations. (3) Discuss the applicant’s responses to the unresolved RAIs. (4) Obtain technical information (structural models, design site parameters, structural drawings, input ground motion time history, etc.) from the applicant, for use by the staff in performing its independent confirmatory seismic analyses.
