lysis used to identify SSCs included in the RAP and the SSCs affected. 5. A non-system-based ITAAC for the RAP that provides reasonable assurance that the design of SSCs within the scope of the RAP is consistent with their assumed design reliability. The ITAAC acceptance criteria should ensure that the estimated reliability of each as-built SSC is at least equal to the assumed design reliability and that industry experience including operations, maintenance, and monitoring activities were assessed in estimating the reliability of these SSCs. 6. A COL action item that a COL applicant referencing a certified design will identify the site-specific SSCs within the scope of the RAP. B. COL APPLICANT The COL applicant should include the following RAP information: 1. The same information provided in the previous Sections A.2.a, A.2.b and A.3 and A.4 for the site-specific phase of the RAP if not previously addressed in Section A. 17.4-7 March 2007 2. How procurement, fabrication, construction, and test specifications for the SSCs within the scope of the RAP ensure that significant assumptions, such as equipment reliability, are realistic and achievable. 3. How QA requirements are implemented during the procurement, fabrication, construction and preoperation testing of SSCs within the scope of the RAP. 4. A description of the integration of reliability assurance activities into existing programs (e.g., maintenance rule, surveillance testing, in-service inspection, in- service testing, and QA). The description should address the following: a. How the reliability performance goals for SSCs within the scope of the RAP are established. For example, implementation of the maintenance rule following the guidance contained in Regulatory Guide 1.160, “Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants,” is one acceptable method for establishing performance goals provided that SSCs are categorized as high safety significant. b. The feedback mechanism for
