Early in the planning process, information will be preliminary; however, the information will become more defined and detailed as the design and planning progress. During the preapplication timeframe, the NRC will seek information such as the following: a. What applications (e.g., ESP, DC, and COL) are planned and when? b. What is the status of the plant design? DG-1325, Page-32 c. What is the status for the qualification of fuel and other major systems and components? d. What is the status of computer codes and models for design and licensing analyses? e. What is the status of a quality assurance program? f. What is the status of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) models? g. What is the status of a control room simulator? h.

What is the status of first-of-a-kind components, including their design, qualification, and testability in accordance with NRC regulations? j. What is the status of interactions with other agencies from which permits or authorizations will be required? k. What is the status of environmental studies necessary to support preparation of the environmental report? l. What is the status of the development of emergency plans both onsite and offsite?
