formation that might have been discovered after the ESP was issued that affects the design and operability of the proposed facility. For a CP application, findings will be similar to the ESP findings. For an OL application, findings will include evaluation of excavations for safety-related structures. For COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of ESP, COL, CP, and OL applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR 100.23, 10 CFR Part 52 or 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, and GDC 2, as applicable. The staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. If the applicant proposes an alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the applicant must demonstrate the acceptability of its alternate method in meeting those regulations. 2.5.1-15 Revision 5 – July 2014 The guidance of this SRP section has been accepted as an alternative method for complying with 10 CFR 52.47(a)(9), “Contents of applications; technical information,” which states, in part, that the application must contain an evaluation of the standard plant design against the SRP revision in effect 6 months before the docket date of the application.
