REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of instrumentation and controls Secondary - None Review Note: The revision numbers of Regulatory Guides (RG) and the years of endorsed industry standards referenced in this Standard Review Plan (SRP) section are centrally maintained in SRP Section 7.1-T, “Regulatory Requirements, Acceptance Criteria, and Guidelines for Instrumentation and Control Systems Important to Safety,” (Table 7-1). Therefore, the individual revision numbers of RGs (except RG 1.97) and years of endorsed industry standards are not shown in this section. References to industry standards incorporated by reference into regulation (IEEE Std 279-1971 and IEEE Std 603-1991) and industry standards that are not endorsed by the agency do include the associated year in this section. See Table 7-1 to ensure that the appropriate RGs and endorsed industry standards are used for the review. 7.0-2 Revision 7 – August 2016 I. INTRODUCTION Chapter 7 of the SRP provides guidance for review of the instrumentation and control (I&C) portions of: (1) applications for nuclear reactor licenses or permits and (2) amendments to existing licenses. The SRP guidance may also be applied in the review of topical reports submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for safety evaluation, especially reports requesting generic acceptance of systems or components that may be used in nuclear power plant I&C systems. For an overview of the purpose, content, and use of the SRP in general, refer to the introductory section of the SRP. This section of Chapter 7, SRP Section 7.0, provides an overview of the process used by the organization responsible for the review of the I&C portion of license applications and the preparation of I&C portions of generic safety evaluations of specific topics. Guidance is also provided to the reviewer in applying Chapter 7 of the SRP to these reviews. Figure 7.0-1 provides an overview of the I&C review process.
