nt of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),” and RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),” advise the applicant that SRP Section 7.1, “Instrumentation and Controls – Introduction,” of safety analysis reports (SARs) should list all I&C and supporting systems that are important to safety and should identify the regulatory requirements applicable to each of these systems. Consequently, SRP Section 7.1 identifies the acceptance criteria and regulatory guidance expected to apply to these systems. SRP Table 7.1 lists the regulatory requirements, 7.0-3 Revision 7 – August 2016 acceptance criteria, and guidance relevant to I&C and summarizes their applicability to each of the typical systems. SRP Appendix 7-1.A, “Acceptance Criteria and Guidelines for Instrumentation and Controls Systems Important to Safety,” discusses the regulatory requirements, acceptance criteria, and guidance in more detail and provides review guidance for each. Three Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards (Std) play extensive roles in the review of I&C systems important to safety: (1) IEEE Std 279-1971, “Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations,” (2) IEEE Std 603-1991, “Criteria for Safety Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations,” and (3) IEEE Std 7-4.3.2, “IEEE Standard Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Generating Stations.” Because of their importance and breadth, the acceptance criteria, guidance, and associated review methods in these three standards are discussed separately in SRP Appendices 7.1-B, “Guidance for Evaluation of Conformance to IEEE Std 279,” 7.1-C, “Guidance for Evaluation of Conformance to IEEE Std 603,” and 7-1.D, “Guidance for Evaluation of the Application of IEEE Std 7-4.3.2.” SRP Sections 7.2 through 7.9 address the I&C systems important to safety that are typically included in
