. 3. The SPSB evaluation of the COL applicant's process used to determine the dominant failure modes of risk-significant SSCs. d. Using the list of risk-significant SSCs provided by the COL applicant, supplemented by other sources (e.g., deterministic information and industry experience), the HQMB reviewer should verify that reasonable assurance exists that such activities as procurement, fabrication, construction, and preoperational testing will be conducted in accordance with the D-RAP. The applicant will verify these activities using the ITAAC process. e. The HQMB reviewer verifies that programs are being developed to include operational reliability assurance activities in maintenance, surveillance testing, inservice inspection, inservice testing, and quality assurance programs. 3. D-RAP for the COL Holder - The implementation of the D-RAP by a COL holder will be verified primarily as an inspection activity as outlined in Appendix A to this SRP Section. This activity will serve as verification that the D-RAP approved by the NRC 17.4-11 DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 has been implemented and will continue functioning through the construction stage of plant life. 4. Reliability Assurance During Operations - RAP objectives during the operational phase of the nuclear power plant should be integrated into the licensee's other programs (e.g., maintenance, surveillance, inservice inspection, inservice testing, and quality assurance). The review of the implementation of maintenance requirements as specified in 10 CFR 50.65, quality assurance as specified in Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and technical specification requirements for inservice testing, inservice inspection, and surveillance activities is primarily an inspection activity as described in Appendix A to this SRP Section. For standard design certification reviews under 10 CFR Part 52, the procedures above should be followed to verify that the design set forth in the standard safety analysis report, including
