Staff Requirements Memorandum on SECY-93-087. "Policy, Technical, and Licensing Issues Pertaining to Evolutionary and Advanced Light-Water Reactor (ALWR) Designs." July 15, 1993. Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP T7.1-1 Table 7-1. Acceptance Criteria and Guidelines for Instrumentation and Control Systems Important to Safety Version 12.0, May 2, 1997 The matrix of Table 7-1 identifies the acceptance criteria (denoted by "A") and the guidelines (denoted by "G") and their applicability to the various sections of Chapter 7 of the SAR. These acceptance criteria include the applicable General Design Criteria and ANSI/IEEE Std 279, "Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations," which establish the NRC requirements for the instrumentation and control systems important to safety. The guidelines for implementation of these requirements are provided in the current versions of regulatory guides, the endorsed industry standards, and the branch technical positions (BTPs) of the Instrumentation and Control Systems Branch (HICB). The BTPs listed in this table are contained in Appendix 7-A. The guidelines are not mandatory and only set forth acceptable methods of implementing the acceptance criteria. The BTPs are used when a particular design problem has an identified and acceptable solution; they also are not mandatory. In all cases, the primary basis for acceptance of the design is conformance to the acceptance criteria. Industry standards that are not endorsed by regulatory guides or incorporated in regulations or BTPs, or that have not been previously used and accepted in the licensing process, must be reviewed before they can be accepted as a sole basis for approval of a design. They are useful as guidance for identifying the subjects of importance to be considered in the review of the systems
