he application, the COL applicant should include a request for departure that complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.63, 10 CFR 52.93, and/or Section VIII of the referenced DCR appendix to 10 CFR Part 52. COLAs referencing an ESP are required by 10 CFR 52.79(b) to contain information sufficient to demonstrate that the design of the facility falls within the site characteristics and design parameters specified in the ESP. For an ESP that uses a PPE approach, the COLA should contain information sufficient to demonstrate that the design of the facility falls within the site characteristics enveloped in the PPE. Note: If not demonstrated in the application, the COL applicant should include a request for variance that complies with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.39 and 10 CFR 52.93. DG-1325, Page-54 The COL applicant should provide information sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.79(b) and 10 CFR 52.79(d) in FSAR Chapter 1.

COL applicants that reference a DC should provide a complete design for the entire facility, including appropriate site-specific design information to replace any conceptual design portions for the referenced certified design. DC applicants facilitate the NRC staff’s review of applications by including conceptual designs in the DCDs that offer a more comprehensive design perspective; these conceptual designs typically include portions of the balance
