SPECIFIC CHANGES TO THE LICENSING BASIS: GENERAL GUIDANCE REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - The organization responsible for the review of the applicant’s probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). Secondary - The organization(s) responsible for the review of the applicant’s traditional engineering analyses, systems, processes, and programs (e.g., Inservice Inspection (ISI), Quality Assurance (QA), Technical Specifications (TS), Reactor Systems, Balance of Plant Systems, Electrical Systems) affected by the proposed plant-specific change. I. AREAS OF REVIEW Introduction This section of the Standard Review Plan (SRP) identifies the roles and responsibilities of organizations in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that participate in risk-informed reviews of licensees’ proposals for changes to the licensing basis (LB) of nuclear power plants. In this context, changes are modifications to a plant’s design, operations, or other activities that require NRC approval. These modifications could include items such as exemption requests under 10 CFR 50.11 and license amendments under 10 CFR 50.90. This SRP section identifies the types of information that may be used in fulfilling an organization’s 19.2-2 June 2007 responsibilities and provides general guidance on how the information from a PRA can be combined with other pertinent information in the process of making a regulatory decision. This section was originally published as SRP Chapter 19. The guidance in this document is a logical extension of current NRC policy on the use of PRA in regulatory activities. This policy is documented in the Commission’s PRA policy statement and implementation plan (60 FR 42622, SECY-95-280, and SECY-94-219). In developing this SRP section, the staff considered the NRC’s guidance on the use of PRA in risk-informed regulatory applications as documented in Regulatory Guide 1.174 as well as the relevant industry guidance documented by the Electric Power Research Institute
