uality assurance, integration, installation, maintenance, training, operations, safety analysis, verification and validation, and configuration management. (See Appendix 7.0-A.) Note: Review of design certification applications should extend to cover detailed design. However, for digital computer-based I&C systems, it may be premature to complete final design details at the design certification (DC) stage. Waiting until the combined license (CL) stage to complete the final design of such systems will allow the CL applicant/licensee to use the most recent technology for each plant. Therefore, the review of DC applications for digital computer-based I&C may be limited to (1) a detailed review at the functional block diagram level, (2) a review of the applicant/licensee's commitment to prescribed limits, parameters, procedures, and attributes for the detailed design process, and (3) ITAAC adequate to demonstrate that the as-built facility conforms to these commitments. Branch technical position (BTP) HICB-16 provides guidance for use in judging the completeness of a DC application where the applicant/licensee proposes to wait until the CL stage to complete the final design of digital computer-based I&C systems. Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP 7.0-7 III.B Operating License and Combined License Applications For operating license and CL applications, normally the NRC will have reviewed the items discussed in Section III.A above and issued a safety evaluation report (SER) based upon that review. Therefore, NRC review at the OL and CL stage is confined to the following items and changes to commitments made at the construction-permit or design-certification stage. Hardware and Software Requirements, Detailed Design, Fabrication, Test, and Integration Evaluation The hardware and software requirements, detailed design, fabrication, test, and integration evaluation should be based on the following review points: 1. Implementation of development plans. (See Appendix 7.0-A.) 2.
