Appendix O. Applications for review of standard designs are typically accompanied by one or more topical reports describing the design. Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP 7.0-3 10. License renewal as discussed in 10 CFR 54. HICB will not normally be involved in the review of license renewal applications. 11. Topical reports may be submitted to obtain NRC review of specific proposals independent of an application for a license or license amendment. For example, systems, components, or operational practices that are being considered for use in multiple plants may be submitted for generic review. III. Review Scope and Contents The reviewer should determine the scope of the review needed to support evaluation of the application. The scope of the review will impact the information needed by the reviewer and the extent of review planning. Regardless of the type of application under consideration, the fundamental purpose of the NRC review is to determine whether the facility and equipment, the proposed use of the equipment, the operating procedures, the processes to be performed, and other technical requirements provide reasonable assurance that the applicant/licensee will comply with the regulations of 10 CFR Chapter I, and that public health and safety will be protected. It is not intended that the review, audit, or inspection activities by the reviewer completely evaluate all aspects of the design and implementation of the I&C system. The review scope needs only to be sufficient to allow the reviewer to reach the conclusion of reasonable assurance described above. Subject to compliance with existing license commitments, compliance with current applicable regulations, and protection of the public health and safety, the HICB review may consider and use previous interpretations of the regulations as they apply to the application being reviewed. The scope of review includes those I&C systems that are identified as substantially identical to systems that have been previously reviewed
