Content:
f a nuclear power plant design under 10 CFR Part 52 will differ from a COL application review. For a DC application, the staff will review the DC applicant’s provisions for the functional design and qualification of pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints in its FSAR (also referred to as the Design Control Document [DCD]). The staff will verify that the DC applicant has specified that the design of its nuclear power plant will provide accessibility for IST activities. The staff will review the COL Action Items specified by the DC applicant. The staff will also review the description of the IST program for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints provided by the DC applicant in its FSAR or DCD for acceptability for reference by a COL applicant in its FSAR. The staff will review the Tier 2* information specified by the DC applicant for the functional design and qualification of pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints. Similar to COL applications, the DC applicant must, in accordance with 10 CFR 52.47, “Contents of Applications; Technical Information,” make available for NRC staff audit information normally contained in procurement specifications and construction and installation specifications if the information is necessary for the Commission to make its safety determinations. The staff will verify that the DC applicant has specified inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) for the functional qualification of pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints; preoperational testing of pumps and valves; and installation of dynamic restraints. Operational programs, such as IST and MOV programs, are not completely reviewed and approved as part of the DC review, and they do not have finality as part of a DC review. The NRC describes its policy positions regarding new reactor designs in several Commission papers. These policy papers include SECY-93-087, “Policy, Technical, and Licensing Issues Pertaining to Evolutionary and Advanced Light-Water Reactor (ALWR)
