analyses, including those applicable to emergency planning, that the licensee shall perform, and the acceptance criteria that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC's regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical 3.9.6-8 Revision 3 - March 2007 techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Additional guidance regarding the historical and current perspectives on the regulatory requirements for IST programs is available in NUREG-1482, Revision 1, which includes information on the suggested format and content for IST programs and relief requests, examples of relief requests, clarification of issues described in NRC communications on IST, and information regarding current staff positions on IST. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.192 addresses the acceptability of OM Code cases related to IST programs. As an alternative to deterministic IST programs, a risk-based approach may be used to prioritize valve test activities, such as the frequency of individual valve tests and selection of valves to be tested. The valve test program should ensure that safety-related valves will remain capable of performing their safety functions until the next scheduled test. The importance of the
