rmed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the AEA, and the NRC’s regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. 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 to ensure compliance with NRC regulations. 1. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 1 requires that SSCs be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. For those SSCs defined as safety-related, the NRC regulations specify special treatment requirements to provide reasonable assurance of the capability of those SSCs to perform their safety-related functions. One special treatment requirement is that applicable components meet the requirements in the ASME BPV Code and OM Code as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. 2. The NRC regulations in 10 CFR 50.55a require that components of the RCPB be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested in accordance with the requirements for Class 1 components of Section III of the ASME BPV Code and OM Code as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. This regulation also requires that pressure retaining components of other fluid systems designated as ASME BPV Code Class 2 or Class 3 components meet the applicable requirements of the ASME BPV Code as incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a. Components within the scope of 10 CFR 50.55a are subject to ISI and IST in
