are developed in compliance with the licensing basis. 7.0-9 Revision 7 – August 2016 System Design Evaluation The system design evaluation should be based on the following review points: 1. The key characteristics, performance requirements, general arrangements, and materials of construction of the systems to confirm there is reasonable assurance the final design will conform to the design bases with adequate margin for safety (See SRP Sections 7.2 through 7.9). 2. The identification of I&C functions and variables to be probable subjects of technical specifications for the facility (for CPs) (see SRP Sections 7.2 through 7.9). 3. Proposed technical specifications (for DCs). The organization responsible for reviewing technical specifications has the lead responsibility (See SRP Chapter 16). 4. The applicant or licensee's analysis and technical justification to show that the I&C system design, including the underlying design bases and performance requirements, can perform appropriate safety functions. Development Planning Evaluation The evaluation should include reviewing plans for the implementation and overall management of system development, QA, integration, installation, maintenance, training, operations, safety analysis, verification and validation, and configuration management (see SRP Appendix 7.0-A for a discussion of this evaluation process for digital computer-based I&C systems). Review of DC and COL applications should normally address requirements at the I&C architectural level. Therefore, the review of DC applications for digital computer-based I&C systems may be limited to (1) a detailed review at the functional block diagram level, (2) a review of the applicant or licensee's commitment to prescribed limits, parameters, procedures, and attributes for the detailed design process, and (3) ITAAC adequate to demonstrate that the as-built facility conforms to these commitments.
