t with the risk insights and key assumptions from probabilistic, deterministic, and other methods of analysis used to identify and quantify risk. If needed, the staff can perform one or more audits to verify that the applicant appropriately applied the programmatic controls of D-RAP during design activities in the COL application phase. B.2 Quality Assurance Associated with Design and Construction Activities For the nonsafety-related RAP SSCs, the application should specify the QA controls for COL design and construction activities (which include establishing appropriate corrective actions for potential design and pre- operational errors that could degrade these SSCs) in accordance with the provisions in Part V, "Nonsafety-Related SSC Quality Controls," of SRP Section 17.5. The staff will conduct the review of these QA controls under Part V of SRP Section 17.5. The staff should ensure that SRP Section 17.4 of the application cites the specific sections or chapters of the application where these QA controls are described. B.3 Integration of Reliability Assurance Program into Operational Programs The application should propose a process for integrating the RAP into operational programs. The application should cite the specific sections or chapters of the application where applicable operational programs are described (including the proposed implementation milestones) and may also identify other applicable programs, if any (e.g., a RTNSS availability controls program). The process proposed by the applicant should also address the following: 1. Establishment of reliability, availability, or condition performance goals for the RAP SSCs. One acceptable method for establishing these performance goals is by implementation of the maintenance rule following the guidance contained in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.160, “Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants” (RG 1.160), provided that all RAP SSCs are included in the scope of maintenance rule and
