ns used are the same as the referenced material and clearly demonstrate that any differences do not affect safety. The use of the terms “reference COL” and “subsequent COL” does not imply that the S-COL applicant simply references the previous R-COL application as a whole. Instead, the S-COL applicant should provide sufficient detail to support the NRC staff’s safety finding. Based on the evolution of the DCRA, current reviews include a referencing system presented by the applicant involving LMA and DG-1325, Page-60 endorsement letters by S-COL applicants of RAI responses by the R-COL applicant and, in some cases, other S-COL applicants. Left Margin Annotation in Combined License Applications A key referencing approach associated with the DCRA used by current applicants in the Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) and ESBWR design centers involves LMA of the FSAR and associated acronyms that have become standardized through practice. Applicants have used the following notations for departures or supplements, or both, in their site-specific DCDs: a. STD is standard (STD) information that is identical in each COLA referencing the certified design. b. Plant name or abbreviation represents plant-specific information that is specific to the application (e.g., LNP for Levy Nuclear Plant and WLS for William States Lee III Nuclear Station). c. DEP represents a departure (DEP) from the DCD. d. COL represents combined license information identified in the DCD. e. VAR represents a variance (VAR) from an ESP. f. SUP represents information that supplements (SUP) information in the DCD. g. CDI represents design information that replaces conceptual design information (CDI) that is included in the generic DCD but that is not addressed within the scope of the DCD review. For example, Section 1.1 of the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant (BNP) COLA FSAR (Ref. 70) indicated that the section incorporated the AP1000 generic DCD by reference with specific departures or supplements, or both.
