tice employed in FSARs for many operating plants. The staff finds these tables to be useful references for applicants preparing applications for NRC staff reviews, for licensees changing the licensing basis through applicable change processes (e.g., 10 CFR 50.59, “Changes, tests and experiments”) or preparing license amendments to submit for NRC staff review. DG-1404, Revision 1, Page 14 3. Methodologies, Analyses, and Site Evaluations Section C.2 of NEI 21-07, Revision 1, presents guidance on the information to be included in the SAR on certain analyses and analytical tools (methodologies) used to identify LBEs, evaluate their consequences, or assess the performance of SSCs that are either safety related (SR) or non-safety related with special treatment (NSRST). The amount of information directly stated in this chapter, as opposed to incorporated by reference, could depend upon the extent of pre-licensing interactions between the applicant and the NRC, particularly interactions resulting in staff reviews and approvals (i.e., topical reports) and the extent to which the application relies on another license or certification (e.g., a COL referencing a certified design). The information to be provided in Chapter 2 of a SAR following NEI 21-07, Revision 1, is primarily cross-cutting information or evaluations that support multiple LBEs or SSCs and provide a foundation for more specific information and analysis results given in other chapters of the SAR. The information provided in Chapter 2 should focus on the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), source term analysis, DBA analytical methods, and other methodologies and analyses (e.g., civil and structural analysis, piping analysis, electrical load analysis, stress analysis, criticality analysis, thermal-hydraulic analysis, environmental qualification analysis, and dispersion modeling) that are pertinent to the LMP-based safety analysis.
