pared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission s policy to inform the nuclear industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new information and experience. Comments and suggestions for improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington, D.C. 20555. 3.9.7-1 Rev. 0 -August 1998 RI-IST Program changes which a licensee chooses to support (or is requested by the staff to support) with risk information, Regulatory Guide 1.175 describes an acceptable method for assessing the nature and impact of proposed RI-IST Program changes by considering engineering issues and applying risk insights. Licensees submitting risk information should address each of the principles of risk-informed regulation discussed in Regulatory Guide 1.175. Licensees should identify how chosen approaches and methods (whether they are quantitative or qualitative, and traditional or probabilistic), data, and criteria for considering risk are appropriate for the decision to be made. In this Standard Review Plan (SRP) section, the NRC staff describes procedures and acceptance guidelines (referred to as Regulatory Positions in Regulatory Guide 1.175) for its reviews of proposed plant-specific, risk-informed changes to a licensee's inservice testing (IST)
