ficiently detailed as to purpose, method, assumptions, design input, references, and units such that a person technically qualified in the subject can review and understand the analyses and verify the adequacy of the results without recourse to the originator. (NQA-1) i. Documentation of design analyses includes the following, as applicable: (NQA-1) (1) definition of the objective of the analyses (2) definition of design inputs and their sources (3) results of literature searches or other applicable background data (4) identification of assumptions and indication of those that must be verified as the design proceeds (5) identification of any computer calculation, including computer type, computer program (e.g., name), revision identification, inputs, outputs, evidence of or reference to computer program verification, and the bases (or reference thereto) supporting application of the computer program to the specific physical problem (6) review and approval j. Control of computer programs used for design analysis includes the following: (NQA-1) (1) Computer program acceptability is preverified or the results verified with the design analysis for each application. (2) Computer programs are controlled to ensure that changes are documented and approved by authorized personnel. k. Calculations are identifiable by subject (including the SSC to which the calculation applies), originator, reviewer, and date, or by other data such that the calculations are retrievable. (NQA-1) l. Applicable design inputs, such as design bases, performance requirements, regulatory requirements, codes, and standards, are 17.5-11 March 2007 identified and documented, and their selection reviewed and approved by the responsible design organization. Changes from approved design inputs, including the reason for the changes, are identified, approved, documented, and controlled. (NQA-1) m. Applicable information derived from experience, as set forth in reports or other documentation, is made
