set of ITAAC that addresses the entire facility, including ITAAC on EP and physical security hardware. The type of information and the level of detail included in the ITAAC should be based on a graded approach that is commensurate with the risk- and safety-significance of the SSCs for the design. The NRC will incorporate the complete set of ITAAC included in the COL application as required by 10 CFR 52.80(a) into the COL as a license condition that the facility must satisfy before fuel load.. After the Commission has made an affirmative finding that the applicant has performed the inspections, tests, and analyses and has met the acceptance criteria in accordance with 10 CFR 52.103(g), the ITAAC do not, by virtue of their inclusion in the COL, constitute regulatory requirements for the applicant. Once the completion of ITAAC and the supporting design information demonstrate that the facility has been properly constructed, existing programs, such as the plant-specific technical specifications, the in-service inspection and in-service testing program, the quality assurance program, the maintenance program, and other operational programs, then demonstrates that the facility continues to operate in accordance with the certified design and the COL. The guidance in this section focuses on the ITAAC requirements for a COLA, including those COLAs that incorporate by reference an ESP or DC, or both. Table 4 provides regulatory history relevant to ITAAC. GUIDANCE Requirements for Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria Early Site Permit For an ESP that does not seek an LWA, detailed guidance related to ITAAC related to EP is provided in sections C.1.5 and C.1.8 of this RG. If an ESP applicant seeks an LWA, ITAAC is required for work performed on safety-related structures (e.g., engineered backfill, soil compaction, foundation base mat, and other site-related conditions).
