es are selected and independently verified to ensure they are suitable for their intended application. 6. Calculations are identifiable by subject (including the SSC to which the calculation applies), originator, reviewer, and date, or by other data such that the calculations are retrievable. 7. Applicable information derived from experience, as set forth in reports or other documentation, is made available to cognizant design personnel. 8. The QA role in design and analysis activities is defined. Design documents are reviewed by individuals knowledgeable and qualified in QA to ensure the documents contain the necessary QA requirements. (Does not apply to ESP applicants’ QA programs.) (10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(iii)(H)) 9. QA personnel are included in the documented review and concurrence in quality- related procedures associated with design, construction, and installation. (Does not apply to ESP applicants’ QA programs.) (10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(iii)(C)) 10. Errors and deficiencies in approved design documents, including design methods (such as computer codes), that could adversely affect structures, systems, and components important to safety are documented; and action is taken to ensure that all errors and deficiencies are corrected. 11. Verification methods include, but are not limited to, design reviews, alternative calculations, and qualification testing. The responsible design organization is required to identify and document the particular design verification method(s) used. 12. Where design adequacy is verified by qualification tests, the tests are identified. The test configuration is clearly defined and documented. Testing demonstrates the adequacy of performance under conditions that simulate the most adverse design conditions. Operating modes and environmental conditions in which the item must perform satisfactorily are considered in determining the most adverse conditions. Where the test is intended to verify only specific design features, the other features
