safety functions. 2. Regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a require that components be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested, and inspected to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. 5.2.1.1-6 Revision 4 –December 2016 Regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a specify that ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 components must be constructed to meet ASME BPV Code, Section III as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. These components will perform acceptably, commensurate with their intended safety functions, when designed in accordance with ASME Code requirements as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. Regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a require that components within the scope of the ASME BPV Code and the ASME OM Code are subject to ISI and IST in accordance with Section XI of the ASME BPV Code and the OM Code, respectively, as incorporated by reference in the rule. The staff considers these requirements adequate for assurance that these components will perform acceptably, commensurate with the importance of their safety functions. 3. Regulations in 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1) require that a DC application contain proposed ITAAC necessary and sufficient to assure the plant is built and will operate in accordance with the design certification. Regulations in 10 CFR 52.80(a) require that the COL identify the ITAAC necessary and sufficient to assure that the facility has been constructed and will be operated in conformity with the license. SRP Section 14.3 provides guidance for reviewing the ITAAC. These requirements in 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1) and 10 CFR 52.80(a) provide confidence in an applicant’s compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a. 4. Regulations in 10 CFR 52.79(a)(11) require that a COL applicant provide, in its safety analysis report, a description of the programs and their implementation necessary to ensure that the systems and components meet the requirements of the ASME BPV Code and ASME OM Code in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a at a level
