useful. Finally, additional aspects of D-RAP should be considered in order to address other risk insights and key assumptions, which are not reliability values, from probabilistic, deterministic, and other methods of analysis used to identify and quantify risk (e.g., a PRA key assumption that room temperature will not exceed the limit of the safety injection pumps during the mission time regardless of room cooling availability). Implementation of D-RAP should be a process that ensures the plant is designed and constructed in a manner that is consistent with the risk insights and key assumptions and control reliability and availability of RAP SSCs. 2 The text “implementation controls” is synonymous with and replaces the term “essential elements” as described in SECY-95-132. 17.4-3 Draft Revision 1 – May 2013 and construction, and that the list of RAP SSCs is appropriately developed, maintained, and communicated to the appropriate organizations. • Implement the appropriate programs for quality assurance (QA) related to design and construction activities (e.g., design, procurement, fabrication, construction, inspection, and testing activities) to provide control over activities affecting the quality of the RAP SSCs. QA controls for safety-related SSCs are established through Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.” The QA requirements are specified in Appendix B, “Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants.” SRP Section 17.5, Part V, "Non-safety-Related SSC Quality Controls," addresses QA controls for RAP SSCs that are not safety-related. D-RAP should be implemented through the following phases: • During the DC phase, the DC applicant develops and implements those portions of the D-RAP that apply to the DC. This effort includes: (1) developing the details of the D-RAP (e.g., scope, purpose, objectives, framework, and phases
