The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Operational Programs.

The implementation milestone is within 3 months after issuance of license or the date that the Commission makes the finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g) per 10 CFR 50.54(i-1).
