4 – December 2016 For Code Cases pertaining to ASME BPV Code, Section III, Division 2, as well as ASME Code Cases not covered in RGs 1.84, 1.147, or 1.192, the applicant may submit a request for NRC authorization to use an alternative to the ASME Code requirements in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(z). The NRC staff will review the proposed alternative for authorization based on the considerations indicated in 10 CFR 50.55a. 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) requires 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 ITAAC. The requirements of 10 CFR 52.47(b)(1) and 10 CFR 52.80(a), respectively, will be met, in part, by identifying ITAAC for the top-level design features related to applicable Code cases referenced in DC and COL applications. 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 sufficient to enable the NRC to reach a final conclusion on all safety matters that must be resolved before COL issuance. RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),” provides guidance for the content of COL applications for a description of the ISI and IST programs to meet 10 CFR 50.55a. The NRC staff reviews the descriptions of these programs and documents its review in the applicable safety evaluation report (SER) sections. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the
