Content:
CAP RG [DG-1404] is from the perspective of the overall application and includes guidance for aspects considered outside of the LMP process. ARCAP Chapter 2, also includes such guidance on application content on site evaluations that should be included in Chapter 2 of the SAR. 6 The NRC highly encourages pre-application engagement from applicants that plan to use the methodology in NEI-21-07, Revision 1, but rely on a different SAR structure than the 12-chapter approach described in this RG and addressed in ARCAP. Similarly, applicants following the 12-chapter SAR structure but not using the LMP approach of NEI 21-07, Revision 1, should engage the NRC staff early to ensure the application contains all the information required by regulations and to optimize application reviews. The Commission’s 2008 “Policy Statement on the Regulation of Advanced Reactors,” highlights the importance of pre-application activities. DG-1404, Revision 1, Page 9 Figure 1. Relationship between ARCAP, TICAP, and the content of an application Documents Endorsed in this Guide After completing the TICAP efforts, NEI documented the results of the project as guidance in NEI 21-07, Revision 1 and submitted that guidance to the NRC for review and endorsement. The purpose of this RG is twofold: 1. To endorse NEI 21-07, Revision 1, with clarifications and additions. NEI 21-07, Revision 1, describes one acceptable approach for determining the scope and level of detail for the development of structured application content associated with the first eight chapters of the SAR. NEI 21-07, Revision 1, follows the LMP guidance and systematically describes the selection of LBEs; the classification and special treatment of SSCs; and the assessment of DID adequacy. Where applicable, this RG describes additional points of emphasis or further details relevant to the SAR sections discussed in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, and endorsed by this RG. 2. To provide additional guidance and information outside the scope
