Content:
ganization and content should be consistent with the organization and format of the DC FSAR. The application should support clear understanding of the information that (1) is incorporated by reference from the DC or ESP, (2) is supplemental to the DC or ESP (e.g., conceptual design information or COL action items), or (3) constitutes a departure from the DC or variance from the ESP. COL applicants should facilitate the NRC staff’s review of the FSAR wherever possible. The NRC staff, as part of the review process, will verify that the information provided in the FSAR of a COLA is consistent with the referenced certified design and the referenced ESP. The applicant’s use of the standardized format and clear and definitive presentation of information supports an effective and efficient review of the FSAR. COL applicants should include in FSAR Chapter 1 administrative information in addition to the technical information identified in the SRP to address the organization and format of the FSAR and the information on the DC and ESP. Applicants should do the following: a. Use an administrative scheme (e.g., “left-margin” annotation (LMA) scheme analogous to that used by prior COL applicants) to identify FSAR information that has been incorporated by reference from a DC or ESP. Such a scheme would designate the FSAR information that (1) is incorporated by reference from the DCD or SSAR, (2) replaces conceptual design information in the DCD, (3) supplements information in the DCD or SSAR, (4) addresses a COL action item in the DC or ESP, (5) is a departure from the DC or variance from the ESP, (6) involves an exemption from the regulations, (7) differentiates between a reference combined license (R-COL) and S-COL, and (8) should be annotated for clarity. b. Discuss the consistency of the FSAR format with this RG and the SRP. c. Address compliance with Section IV, “Additional Requirements and Restrictions,” of the appendix to 10 CFR Part 52 codifying the referenced
