provisions of 10 CFR 52.99, with the exceptions and additional guidance discussed below. The NEI 08-01 guidance for ITAAC closure notification development is considered to be applicable to all ITAAC, regardless of whether the source of the ITAAC is a generic design certification or a site-specific application. Operation (which includes loading fuel) cannot commence until the NRC finds under 10 CFR 52.103(g) that all acceptance criteria in the COL are met. a. As stated in NEI 08-01 Section 3.1.2, licensees should document ITAAC completion under their Quality Assurance (QA) program because ITAAC have special regulatory significance under 10 CFR Part 52. Licensees should develop their QA program to address oversight of nonsafety related (NSR) structures, systems, and components (SSCs). Licensees should refer to NUREG-0800, “Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,” Chapter 17, “Quality Assurance,” Section 17.5, “Nonsafety-Related SSC Quality Controls,” (Ref. 9) for guidance on QA use during the construction and installation of SSCs. In particular, the licensee should adopt a graded QA approach for the completion of NSR ITAAC and ITAAC associated with the regulatory treatment of NSR systems. b. The NRC expects to issue COLs which include an appendix that contains a complete, integrated list of ITAAC for each licensed unit, drawn from the design control document, early site permit (ESP), limited work authorization (LWA), and COL application, as applicable. The NRC expects that licensees will submit ITAAC closure notifications using the nomenclature and numbering scheme of the ITAAC identified in the COL. This will minimize errors and ensure consistent referencing of specific ITAAC by the licensee, the NRC, and the public. The COL ITAAC appendix is considered to be the appropriate reference since it is possible that the site-specific ITAAC could differ from the design certification document (DCD)
