SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to satisfy the Commission’s policy on RTNSS and to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations identified above are as follows for the 19.3-6 Draft Rev.0 – June 2013 review described in this SRP. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify and describe differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. The SRP acceptance criteria are derived from Commission direction and staff guidance published in multiple documents, including the following: 1. SECY-93-087, “Policy, Technical, and Licensing Issues Pertaining to Evolutionary and Advanced Light-Water Reactor ALWR Designs,” dated April 2, 1993 (ML003760768), and associated SRM, July 21, 1993 (ML003708056). 2. SECY-94-084, “Policy and Technical Issues Associated with the Regulatory Treatment of Nonsafety Systems in Passive Plant Designs,” dated March 28, 1994, and associated SRM, June 30, 1994 (ML003708068). 3. SECY-95-132, “Policy and Technical Issues Associated with the Regulatory Treatment of Nonsafety Systems (RTNSS) in Passive Plant Designs,” dated May 22, 1995, and associated SRM, June 28, 1995 (ML003708005). 4. SECY-96-128, “Policy and Key Technical Issues Pertaining to the Westinghouse AP600 Standardized Passive Reactor Design,” June 12, 1996, and associated SRM, January 15, 1997 (ML003708224). 5. Memorandum from L. Joseph Callan, USNRC Executive Director for Operations to Chairman Jackson, US NRC, “Implementation of Staff Position in SECY-96-128, ‘Policy and Key Technical Issues Pertaining to the Westinghouse AP600 Standard Pressurized Reactor
