ion that the FSAR should include to fully describe the IST operational program for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints. The COL applicant may incorporate by reference in its FSAR specific provisions provided in the DCD of the referenced DC that describe operational programs. In such instances, the staff will review the combination of the information in the COL FSAR and the provisions in the DCD to determine whether it fully describes the specific operational program. The commitments for implementation of the operational programs should include specific implementation milestones (e.g., before fuel load or commercial service). Some operational programs have specific regulatory requirements for their implementation milestones (such as the IST programs in 10 CFR 50.55a), whereas other operational programs will have implementation milestones specified by a license condition. The number of implementation milestones depends on whether the program will be implemented on a phased basis. For example, the staff expects that the radiation protection program (RPP) will have four implementation milestones (sources on site, fuel on site, fuel load, and first shipment of waste), whereas the motor-operated valve testing program will be fully implemented at a specific milestone or before initial fuel load. Many fitness-for-duty program requirements under 10 CFR Part 26, “Fitness for Duty Programs,” are implemented before construction activities. License Conditions The NRC will use license conditions to ensure the implementation of those operational programs for which the regulations do not specify an implementation milestone. Applicants shall implement the operational programs, or portions thereof, as specified in the regulations and the license conditions. Applicants should expect license conditions to address implementation milestones for any operational programs for which the regulations do not address implementation milestones. Applicants should provide sufficient details
