complete description of the ITP. B. The applicant should describe the key elements of the ITP in Tier 1 to ensure that the COL applicant cannot unilaterally initiate subsequent changes in the conduct of the ITP. C. The applicant should include provisions to ensure that test procedures and test specifications are made available to the NRC. COL/OL Applicants A. Applicants referencing a certified design should provide a clearly and sufficiently described ITP in terms of scope and level of detail in accordance with the rule certifying the design and the design control document. B. An applicant which does not reference a certified design should provide a clearly and sufficiently described ITP in terms of scope and level of detail in accordance with RG 1.68. C. Refer to SRP Section 14.3.10 for additional guidance. 14.2-11 Revision 3 - March 2007 Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. 10 CFR 50.34(b)(6)(iii) requires that each application for a license to operate a facility include a final SAR (FSAR). The FSAR should include information that describes the facility, presents the design bases and the limits on its operation, and presents a safety analysis of the SSCs and of the facility as a whole, including plans for preoperational testing and initial operations. A major ITP objective (including preoperational testing and testing during initial operation) is to verify that SSCs are capable of performing their safety functions as specified in the design and as assumed/credited in safety analyses. Application of 10 CFR 50.34(b)(6)(iii) to the ITP ensures that the applicant submits adequate information, commitments, and plans to demonstrate that the capability will exist for initial operation within the bounds of the design and safety analyses and that initial testing activities will be conducted in a sequence and manner that
