ior to plant operation. Inaccuracies in estimation of runoff are considered to be only indirectly safety related since an adequate shutdown and cooldown water supply will be available in the auxiliary reservoir should evaporation and the lack of runoff prevent replenishment of main reservoir storage above the minimum operating level of elevation 74.4 meters (244 feet) MSL. 26 For design certification reviews, the findings will also summarize, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other safety evaluation report sections, the staff’s evaluation of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), including design acceptance criteria (DAC), site interface requirements, and combined license action items that are relevant to this SRP section.27 V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. This SRP section will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR 50 or 10 CFR 52. Except in those 28 cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations.
