acceptance criteria. DCs have referred to the FSAR as the design control document (DCD). The reviewer should also consider the appropriateness of identified COL action items. The reviewer may identify additional COL action items; however, to ensure these COL action items are addressed during a COL application, they should be added to the DC FSAR. For review of a COL application, the scope of the review is dependent on whether the COL applicant references a DC, an early site permit (ESP) or other NRC approvals (e.g., manufacturing license, site suitability report or topical report). IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. The staff has evaluated the consequences of a spectrum of postulated fuel-loading errors. The staff concludes that the analyses provided by the applicant have shown for each case considered that either the error is detectable by the available instrumentation (and hence remediable) or the error is undetectable but the offsite consequences of any fuel rod failures are a small fraction of 10 CFR Part 100 criteria. The applicant affirms that the available incore instrumentation will be used before the start of a fuel cycle to search for fuel-loading errors. The staff concludes that the requirements of General Design Criterion 13 and 10 CFR Part 100 have been met. This conclusion is based on the following: The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 13 with respect to providing adequate provisions to minimize the potential of a misloaded fuel assembly going undetected and meets 10 CFR Part 100 with respect to mitigating the consequences of reactor operations with a misloaded fuel assembly. These requirements have been met by providing acceptable procedures and design features that will
