hat are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the COL, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the Commission’s rules and regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the Commission’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the Commission's regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between this SRP section and the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for the facility, and discussing how the proposed alternatives provide acceptable methods of complying with the regulations that underlie the SRP acceptance criteria. 1. Description of the Foundation. The descriptive information in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR) is acceptable if it meets the criteria in Section 3.8.5.1 of RG 1.206. New or unique design features that are not specifically covered in RG 1.206 or RG 1.70 may require a more detailed review. The reviewer determines the additional information that may be needed to accomplish a meaningful review of the structural aspects of such new or unique features. RG 1.206 provides the basis for evaluating the description of structures to be included in a DC or a COL application. RG 1.70 provides guidance for information to be submitted with an application for construction permit (CP) or operating license (OL). 3.8.5-8 Revision 4 – September 2013 2. Applicable Codes, Standards, and Specifications.
