FR 52.47(a)(4) and 10 CFR 52.79(a)(5), to assess the risk to public health and safety resulting from facility operation and ensure the adequacy of plant SSCs that are provided to prevent accidents and mitigate their consequences. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 1.
