determines that the test provisions are adequate to confirm the bypass leakage rate specified. Preoperational and periodic tests are reviewed by the appropriate NRC Regional Office. In SECY 93-087 the staff recommended that the interval for Type C testing be changed from 24 months, as specified in Appendix J, Option A, to 30 months. The Commission approved this recommendation in its SRM dated July 21, 1993. Since no applicable revision to Option A has been issued for this position, a partial exemption from Appendix J, Option A, would be required for an applicant to utilize a 30 month interval for Type C testing. Under Option B of Appendix J, RG 1.163 allows Type B and Type C test intervals of 30 months or, under certain circumstances, more. 6.2.6-10 Revision 3 - March 2007 4. Operational Programs. The reviewer verifies that the Containment Leak Rate Testing is fully described and that implementation milestones have been identified. The reviewer verifies that the program and implementation milestones are included in FSAR Table 13.x. Implementation of this program will be inspected in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter IMC-2504, “Construction Inspection Program - Non-ITAAC Inspections.” 5. For review of a DC application, the reviewer should follow the above procedures to verify that the design, including requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters), set forth in the final safety analysis report (FSAR) meets the acceptance criteria. DCs have referred to the FSAR as the design control document (DCD). The reviewer should also consider the appropriateness of identified COL action items. The reviewer may identify additional COL action items; however, to ensure these COL action items are addressed during a COL application, they should be added to the DC FSAR. For review of a COL application, the scope of the review is dependent on whether the COL applicant references a DC, an early site permit (ESP) or other NRC approvals
