for the I&C systems relied upon and that there is reasonable assurance that the I&C systems needed for mitigation of events beyond the design basis (including severe accidents) are designed to perform their intended function in the environment expected during the event, and over the time span for which they are needed. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements for DC Applicants 1. 10 CFR 51.55(a) states that each DC application must include a separate document entitled “Applicant’s Environmental Report - Standard Design Certification,” which must address the costs and benefits of the severe accident mitigation design alternatives (SAMDA), and the bases for not incorporating SAMDAs in the design to be certified. 2. 10 CFR 52.47(a)(1) states that each DC application must include the site parameters postulated for the design, and an analysis and evaluation of the design in terms of those site parameters. 3. 10 CFR 52.47(a)(2) states that it is expected that the standard plant will reflect through its design, construction, and operation an extremely low probability for accidents that could result in the release of radioactive fission products. 4. 10 CFR 52.47(a)(4) states that each DC application must contain an FSAR that includes an analysis and evaluation of the design and performance of SSCs with the objective of assessing the risk to public health and safety resulting from operation of the facility and including determination of the margins of safety during normal operations and transient conditions anticipated during the life of the facility, and the SSCs provided for the prevention of accidents and the mitigation of the consequences of accidents. 5. 10 CFR 52.47(a)(8) states that a DC application must contain a FSAR that provides the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with any technically relevant portions of the Three Mile Island requirements set forth in 10 CFR 50.34(f), except paragraphs (f)(1)(xii), (f)(2)(ix), and (f)(3)(v). 10 CFR 52.47(a)(23)
