21 ) Proposed technical resolutions of those Unresolved Safety Issues and medium- and high-priority generic safety issues which are identified in the version of NUREG-0933 current on the date up to 6 months before the docket date of the application and which are technically relevant to the design; ( 22 ) The information necessary to demonstrate how operating experience insights have been incorporated into the plant design; ( 23 ) For light-water reactor designs, a description and analysis of design features for the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents, e.g., challenges to containment integrity caused by core-concrete interaction, steam explosion, high-pressure core melt ejection, hydrogen combustion, and containment bypass; ( 24 ) A description, analysis, and evaluation of the interfaces between the standard design and the balance of the nuclear power plant; and ( 25 ) A description of the design-specific probabilistic risk assessment and its results. ( 26 ) For applications for standard design approvals which are subject to 10 CFR 50.150(a) , the information required by 10 CFR 50.150(b) . ( b ) An application for approval of a standard design, which differs significantly from the light-water reactor designs of plants that have been licensed and in commercial operation before April 18, 1989, or uses simplified, inherent, passive, or other innovative means to accomplish its safety functions, must meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.43(e) . [ 72 FR 49517 , Aug. 28, 2007, as amended at 74 FR 28147 , June 12, 2009] Footnotes - 52.137 [ 9 ] The fission product release assumed for this evaluation should be based upon a major accident, hypothesized for purposes of site analysis or postulated from considerations of possible accidental events. These accidents have generally been assumed to result in substantial meltdown of the core with subsequent release into the containment of appreciable quantities of fission products.
