e, the emissions from nonsafety-related systems should be held to the same levels as those from safety-related systems. J. Verify the adequacy of any special equipment facilitating communications with personnel using protective equipment (e.g., respirators, underwater diving equipment). 2. The reviewer may decide that, for a specific case, specific aspects of the design should receive emphasis, while other aspects of the design need not receive the same emphasis and indepth review. Typical reasons for such nonuniform emphasis are the introduction of new communication system designs or the use of communication systems previously found acceptable in similar circumstances. However, in all cases, the review must be sufficient to conclude conformance to the requirements of the NRC’s regulations. For deviations from these specific acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives to the SRP criteria provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II above. 3. For review of a DC application, the reviewer should follow the above procedures to verify that the design, including requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters), set forth in the final safety analysis report (FSAR) meets the acceptance criteria. DCs have referred to the FSAR as the design control document (DCD). The reviewer should also consider the appropriateness of identified COL action items. The reviewer may identify additional COL action items; however, to ensure these COL action items are addressed during a COL application, they should be added to the DC FSAR. For review of a COL application, the scope of the review is dependent on whether the COL applicant references a DC, an early site permit (ESP) or other NRC approvals (e.g., manufacturing license, site suitability report or topical report). For review of both DC and COL applications, SRP Section 14.3 should
