nd coordinates the overall review with staff reviewing other SRP sections to ensure that the applicant has appropriately classified fluid systems and components important to safety using an acceptable process utilizing appropriate quality assurance measures, including construction codes and standards, with respect to the criteria presented in this SRP section. In Staff Requirements Memoranda (SRM) dated July 21, 1993, the Commission approved the staff’s position in SECY-93-087, “Policy, Technical, and Licensing Issues Pertaining to Evolutionary and Advanced Light-Water Reactor (ALWR) Designs,” the staff should review applications for evolutionary and advanced light-water reactors using the newest codes and standards that have been endorsed by the NRC. Unapproved editions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Code and standard editions used by the applicant should be identified in the application and specific editions should be reviewed by those responsible for endorsement or acceptance of those specific codes and standards. The specific edition of an adopted code or standard should be cited in Tier 2 rather than Tier 1. SRP Section 5.2.1.1 provides additional information on staff review of code and standard information. Selection and emphasis of various aspects of the areas covered by this SRP section will be made by the reviewer on each case. The reviewer’s judgment with respect to the areas to be given attention during the review is to be based on an inspection of the material presented, on the similarity of the material to that recently reviewed for other plants, and on whether items of special safety significance are involved. 1. The staff reviews the classification criteria presented in the FSAR and consistency of that criteria with regulations and regulatory guidance. Regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a identify those ASME Section III, Code Class 1 components of light-water-cooled reactors that are part of the RCPB. The detailed review of these components
