he information collection. DRAFT Rev. 0 - December 2002 I 14.2.1-2 II. 'ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Extended power uprate test program acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following regulations: Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50, establishes in Criterion 1, "Quality Standards and Records," as it relates to establishing the necessary testing requirements for SSCs important to safety, such that there is reasonable assurance that the facility can be operated without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. However, as discussed in Section 2.1.5.6 of LIC-1 00, "Control of Licensing Basis for Operating Reactors," the General Design Criteria (GDC) are not applicable to plants with construction permits issued before May 21, 1971. Each plant licensed before the GDC were formally adopted was evaluated on a plant-specific basis, determined to be safe, and licensed by the Commission.. Criterion XI, "Test Control," of Appendix B tol0 CFR Part 50, as it relates to establishment of a test program to assure that testing required to demonstrate that SSCs will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures which incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for Amendment of License or Construction Permit," as it relates to an application for an amendment following as far as applicable the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34, "Contents of Applications: Technical Information," which specifies requirements for the original operating license application, requires that the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) include plans for preoperational testing and initial operations. Technical Rationale This review ensures that the proposed EPU testing program adequately demonstrates that SSCs will perform'satisfactorily at EPU conditions. In particular, the EPU
