categorization of SSCs that are considered in risk-informing special treatment requirements. • RG 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition)” (Ref. 7), provides guidance on the format and content of applications for nuclear power plants submitted to the NRC under 10 CFR Part 52, which specifies the information to be included in an application. • RG 1.232, “Guidance for Developing Principal Design Criteria for Non-Light Water Reactors” (Ref. 8), describes the NRC’s guidance on how the general design criteria in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, “General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,” may be adapted for non-LWR designs. This guidance may be used by non-LWR reactor designers, applicants, and licensees to develop principal design criteria for any non-LWR designs, as required by the applicable NRC regulations for nuclear power plants. The RG also describes the NRC’s guidance for modifying and supplementing the general design criteria to develop principal design criteria that address two types of non-LWR technologies: sodium cooled fast reactors and modular high temperature gas- cooled reactors (MHTGRs). • NUREG-0800, “Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition” (Ref. 9), provides guidance to NRC staff in performing safety reviews of construction permit or operating license applications, including requests for amendments under 10 CFR Part 50, and early site permit, DCs, COLs, SDA, or ML applications under 10 CFR Part 52 (including requests for amendments). The principal purpose of the Standard Review Plan is to ensure the quality and uniformity of staff safety reviews. The Plan is also intended to make information about regulatory matters widely available and to improve communication among the NRC, interested members of the public, and the nuclear power industry, thereby increasing understanding of the NRC’s review process. • “NRC Vision and
