The COL applicant must confirm all preliminary information and provide all missing information that is denoted in the generic technical specifications by bracketed values, reviewer’s notes, or any other placeholder. The plant-specific technical specifications, which must be issued with the COL as required by the AEA, shall be complete and shall contain no COL action items for the COL holder to resolve. The COL shall contain no license condition on completing the plant-specific technical specifications. To comply with 10 CFR 52.79(a)(30), COL applicants must resolve all generic technical specification COL action items before COL issuance. Chapter 16 of the SRP provides the COL applicant with the following three recommended options to resolve each such item for their consideration: a. provide a plant-specific value or plant-specific information; b. provide a value or information that bounds the plant-specific value or information, but by which the plant may be safely operated (i.e., a useable bounding value or useable bounding information); or c. establish a plant-specific TS Section 5.5 or 5.6 administrative controls program or report. Administrative controls technical specifications should require (i) use of an NRC-reviewed and -approved methodology for determining the plant-specific value, (ii) the establishment of an associated document, outside the plant-specific technical specifications, in which the relocated plant-specific value must be recorded and maintained, and (iii) any other information or restrictions the NRC staff deems necessary and appropriate to satisfy 10 CFR 50.36. The NRC staff determined that it should provide additional guidance and clarification on COL action items that cannot be resolved before issuance of a COL to ensure consistency and facilitate common understanding by COL applicants. Further, the guidance should include options and illustrative examples to assist in determining the most appropriate postlicense
