Implementation,” dated March 22, 2007, the NRC staff discusses the use of PRA standards. RG 1.200, “An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities,” provides more specific guidance on the use of consensus PRA standards. If an applicant intends to apply a standard that has not received endorsement or acceptance in the NRC regulations or RG documents, the applicant is responsible for providing justification for the acceptability of the standard as part of its application.

C.2.11 COL Action Items and Postlicense Commitments OVERVIEW In addition to complying with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.77; 10 CFR 52.79, and 10 CFR 52.80, a COL applicant that references a DC shall comply with provisions of the referenced DCR contained in the appendices to 10 CFR Part 52. Each DCR in Section IV.A.2.e of 10 CFR Part 52 requires the COLA to include information that addresses the COL action items7 identified in the DCR. These COL action items are regulatory matters that the DC vendor deferred to the COL applicant to address in the COLA. Similarly, a COL applicant that references an ESP should address any COL action items included as part of the ESP that were deferred to be addressed in the COLA. In addition, a COL applicant may, at its discretion, address in the COLA commitments performing future regulatory actions (e.g., update information and programmatic schedules) that are related to site-specific design features or programs that were not identified in the referenced DC or ESP. The terms “COL action item” and “COL information item” have been used interchangeably. However, the NRC staff has typically used the term “COL action item” in regulations and SE reports, and DC applicants have typically included the term “COL information item” in
