to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Section A below applies to a DC applicant and Section B below applies to a COL applicant referencing a certified design. Sections A and B below apply to a COL applicant that does not reference a certified design. Sections A and B.1 through 3 apply to an applicant for a construction permit and Sections B.4 through 9 apply to an applicant for an operating license. 17.4-5 March 2007 A. DESIGN CERTIFICATION The application describes the following RAP information: 1. The scope and purpose. The scope and purpose of the RAP are described in Subsections I and II of this SRP section. 2. The application of the quality elements associated with organization, design control, procedures and instructions, records, corrective action, and audit plans as follows: a. Organization (1) The organizations responsible for formulating and implementing the RAP and the coordination of RAP program activities, including those performed within the design, PRA, RAP, and risk and reliability organizations as well as work completed by the architect-engineers and other supporting organizations that develop deterministic and other methods used to identify SSCs that are significant contributors to plant safety. (2) How the reliability and design organizations manage interface issues. For example, how does the risk and reliability organization keep the design staff cognizant of SSCs that are significant contributors to plant safety, program needs, and status, and how does the feedback process ensure that significant design assumptions related to equipment reliability are realistic and achievable. (3) The risk and reliability organization participation in the design change control process for the purpose of providing RAP related inputs in the design process. (4) The risk and reliability organization involvement in design reviews. b. Design Control (1) The configuration control process for maintaining the
