ace materials, can safely be accommodated by structural components. 2. The reviewers of SRP Chapter 17.1 will coordinate the review of geotechnical engineering aspects of the quality assurance program pertaining to safety-related structures, systems, and components with the reviewers of this SRP section. 3. For DC applications and COL applications referencing a DC rule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” Review of site characteristics and site- related design parameters in ESP applications or in COL applications referencing an ESP is also performed under Section 2.0. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. 2.5.4-4 Revision 3 - March 2007 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR 50.55a - Codes and Standards requires that structures, systems, and components be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested and inspected in accordance with the requirement of applicable codes and standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. 2. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A: (a) General Design Criterion 1 (GDC 1), "Quality Standards and Records," requires that structures, systems and components important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. It also requires that appropriate records of the design, fabrication, erection, and testing of structures, systems, and components important to safety be maintained by or under the control of the nuclear power unit licensee throughout the life of the unit.
