es a DC, an early site permit (ESP) or other NRC approvals (e.g., manufacturing license, site suitability report or topical report). For review of both DC and COL applications, SRP Section 14.3 should be followed for the review of ITAAC. The review of ITAAC cannot be completed until after the completion of this section. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. The communication system includes all components for intraplant and plant-to-offsite communications. The scope of review of the communications system for the plant includes verification that offsite equipment is capable of 9.5.2-9 Revision 3 - March 2007 providing for notification of personnel and implementation of evacuation procedures, and verification that onsite communications are adequate in the event of an emergency. The basis for acceptance of the communication system in the review is conformance of the design, design criteria, and design bases to staff positions and industry standards and the ability of the system to provide effective communications between plant personnel in all vital areas during the full spectrum of accident or incident conditions under maximum potential noise levels. The staff concludes that the design of the communications system meets the staff’s criteria and industry standards and is therefore acceptable. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. In addition, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other SER sections, the findings will summarize the staff's evaluation of the ITAAC, including design acceptance criteria, as
