licable NRC requirements and is required by 10 CFR 52.47 to be in the DC FSAR or DCD. Such documents constitute requirements and are listed in the DCR as being approved for incorporation by reference. Documents incorporated by reference in the DC FSAR4 or DCD are considered by the NRC to apply as requirements to any COL applicant or licensee incorporating by reference the DCR. In addition, documents incorporated by reference are within the scope of issue resolution of the DCR and are accorded issue finality protection under 10 CFR 52.63. The Federal Register notice for the DCR for the economic simplified boiling-water reactor (ESBWR) (79 FR 61944-61988) (Ref. 63) describes the difference between a document incorporated by reference and a reference document. A COLA should discuss reference material and material incorporated by reference, and FSAR Section 1.6 should present this discussion consistent with the SRP. Documents not intended to constitute requirements should be identified as references “for information only,” and documents intended as requirements should be identified as “incorporated by reference.” In addition, the applicant should make available public versions of referenced nonpublic documents. 4 Several previous design certifications refer to the C FSAR as the design control document, or DCD. The staff uses DC FSAR as a more descriptive and general term. DG-1325, Page-52 Final Safety Analysis Report Information The requirements at 10 CFR 52.79(a) identify the scope and contents of the FSAR. The SRP addresses the technical information and level of detail to be included in the FSAR. The organization and numbering of the FSAR should follow the same organization and numbering as the SRP if a COLA does not reference a DC. For a COLA referencing a DC, organization and content should be consistent with the organization and format of the DC FSAR. The application should support clear understanding of the information that (1) is incorporated by reference
