The source for each acceptance criterion is given in order to provide NRC staff with a means to interpret the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, NRC regulations, and RGs. In addition, the staff has determined that certain QA program alternative or exceptions to specific acceptance criteria have general applicability to an overall QA program.
