-significant SSCs from the RAP (e.g., passive SSCs such as pipes, ducts, electrical cables), then the application should provide a rationale for excluding these SSCs and address how other programs and requirements ensure that these SSCs do not degrade to an unacceptable level of reliability, availability, or condition during plant operations and will function reliably when challenged. A.4 Expert Panels The application should describe the roles and responsibilities of any expert panels used because they play an important role in reviewing the information associated with risk-significance determinations and could compensate for the limitations of the PRA. The application should describe the qualification requirements for members of expert panels used. To evaluate and review information associated with determinations of risk significance, an expert panel should comprise members knowledgeable of the plant and whose collective expertise includes, at a minimum, PRA, safety analysis, plant operations, maintenance, design engineering, and system engineering. Expert panel members should have a level of knowledge sufficient to evaluate and approve risk significance determinations using both probabilistic and deterministic information. A.5 Systems, Structures, and Components within the Scope of the Reliability Assurance Program The application should contain a comprehensive list of RAP SSCs, within the scope of the DC application, based on the methodology that meets acceptance criterion A.3 of this SRP section. In addition, the following should be included: 17.4-10 Draft Revision 1 – May 2013 • A description of the basis or bases for including each RAP SSC. • Clear identification of the RAP SSCs, including text descriptions and specific SSC identification numbers when applicable, to communicate the RAP SSCs effectively and accurately to the organizations that implement the D-RAP. • Clear identification of the boundaries of the RAP SSCs (e.g., electrical, mechanical,
