to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. VI. DEFINITIONS All definitions are in the context of the objectives of this SRP section and may not be generic to other uses. 15.0.2-17 March 2007 Acceptance Review An initial review of a submittal performed to ensure that sufficient information is included for the review to conduct the review. Accidents In this SRP section, accidents and transients refer to events that are defined in NUREG-0800 to be analyzed to meet the requirements of the General Design Criteria (GDC), except for the fuel assembly misloading event and all radiological consequence analyses. Codes Calculational procedures that compose an evaluation model. Code Options User controlled options that control which procedures, models, correlations, etc., the code uses when performing calculations. Code Tuning The adjustment of parameters or options included in the code to achieve a predetermined result of code run. Compensating A set of errors that, combined, mask the effect of the individual errors. Errors Correlation The change in one parameter as a result of a change in another Effort parameter. Closure Equations and correlations required to close the field equations Relationships so that they may be solved. They relate unknown quantities to the variables of the field equations. They may include physical correlations of transport phenomena such as equations that relate the shearing stresses to the rate of strain (the velocity field). Constitutive Equations and correlations required to close the field equations so that Equations they may be
