0.150(a) regarding the assessment of aircraft impacts for new nuclear power reactors. The NRC will review the information contained in the application and reach conclusions as to whether the applicant has: (1) adequately described design features and functional capabilities in accordance with the AIA rule; and (2) conducted an assessment reasonably formulated to identify design features and functional capabilities to show, with reduced use of operator action, that the facility can withstand the effects of a large commercial aircraft impact. 1 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES For the purpose of evaluating whether or not the above criteria have been met, the staff shall consider: 1. An AIA performed by qualified personnel (see Item III.2 below) using a method that conforms to the guidance in NEI 07-13, Revision 8, to be a method which is reasonably formulated to identify design features and functional capabilities to show, with reduced use of operator action, that the facility can withstand the effects of a large commercial aircraft impact, and thereby meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.150(a). 2. Qualified personnel to be: (1) the designer of the facility for which the AIA applies; and/or (2) an applicant’s primary contractor for the AIA who has also designed a nuclear power reactor facility either already licensed by the NRC or currently under review by the NRC. 3. Use of operator action to be reduced when (1) all necessary actions to control the nuclear facility can be performed in the control room, or at an alternate station containing equipment specifically designed for control purposes, and (2) a reduced amount of active operator intervention, if any, is required to meet the assessment criteria in 10 CFR 50.150(a)(1). Reduction in the use of operator action is measured relative to the 1 Consideration of Aircraft Impacts for New Nuclear Power Reactors, 74 FR 28120 (June 12, 2009). 19.5-5 Revision 0 – April 2013 actions required to address aircraft impact without the
