program may consider the extent of the EPU’s impact on the results of the safety analyses and may consider such factors as the amount of remaining margin to SRP acceptance criteria, the sensitivity of the safety analysis results to changes in analysis assumptions, and the capability of transient testing to provide useful confirmatory data. To aid in this review, the information provided in Table 2 to this SRP section includes a reference to the safety analysis SRP sections related to typical power ascension transient tests, as applicable. Although the initial test program objectives, as described in RG 1.68, Revision 2, included validation of analytical models and verification of assumptions used for predicting plant response to anticipated transients and postulated accidents, transient testing is not required expressly to validate accident analysis codes that are used for EPU license amendment reviews. The applicability and use of accident analysis codes for an EPU is reviewed by the staff in accordance with separate SRP guidance. August 2006
