e. v. The applicant should include provisions to verify that core flux levels are within predicted or acceptable values. vi. The applicant should provide measures to stop core loading operations if an unexpected or unanalyzed condition occurs. vii. At the completion of fuel loading, the applicant should perform sufficient tests, as necessary, to ensure that the facility is in a final state of readiness to achieve initial criticality and to perform low-power tests. B. Low-Power/Power Ascension Testing i. The applicant should include procedures that will control low-power and power ascension testing. These procedures should include precautions, prerequisites, and measures consistent with the guidelines and regulatory positions in RG 1.68. The staff will review exceptions to regulatory positions and their associated justifications for acceptability on a case-by- case basis. 5. Individual Test Descriptions/Abstracts DC/COL/OL Applicants A. The applicant should provide abstracts of planned tests to demonstrate and verify the performance capabilities of SSCs and design features that serve the following functions: i. Used for safe shutdown and cooldown of the reactor under normal plant conditions and for maintenance of the reactor in a safe condition for an extended shutdown period ii. Used for safe shutdown and cooldown of the reactor under transient conditions (infrequently or moderately frequent events) and postulated accident conditions and for maintenance of the reactor in a safe condition for an extended shutdown period following such condition iii. Used for establishing conformance with safety limits or limiting conditions for operation that will be included in the facility technical specifications iv. Classified as engineered safety features or used to support or ensure the operations of engineered safety features within design limits v. Assumed to function, or for which credit is taken, in the accident analysis for the facility, as described in the DCD or SAR (as
