ng the analysis associated with the DAC, that changes are needed to the plant design or other licensing documents (e.g., generic and plant-specific technical specifications), some of which may require prior approval of the NRC. A COL applicant referencing a DC may include sufficiently detailed design DG-1325, Page-67 information in the design areas where DAC are used in the certified design. In these circumstances, the COLA should include a notification that the ITAAC associated with the design aspects of these DAC have been completed in accordance with 10 CFR 52.80(a)(3). The NRC staff would review this information in the context of the COLA, and, if approved, the NRC staff would indicate completion of these ITAAC in the Federal Register notice required by 10 CFR 52.85, “Administrative Review of Applications; Hearings.” During the construction stage, the NRC staff would verify the final as-built state through the remaining ITAAC. This approach may be used when detailed design has already been completed potentially as a result of the construction of another facility referencing the same DC (e.g., the R-COL) for which the DAC ITAAC have been closed. A COL applicant that does not reference a DC (i.e., custom COL) should include the same level of design detail that would be appropriate for a DC application in such a manner that enables the NRC staff to make a final safety finding on the design. The COL applicant should initiate early engagement with the NRC staff to address any design areas for which DAC may be proposed. C.2.9 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria OVERVIEW This section provides guidance on the ITAAC information to be submitted in a COLA for a nuclear power plant. Therefore, it addresses many, albeit not all, of the application options allowed by 10 CFR Part 52. Although a COL applicant is not required to conform to this guidance, its use will facilitate both the preparation of a COLA by the applicant and the timely review of the
