Content:
eview guidance chapters. The 12 chapters proposed for an advanced reactor SAR, consistent with ARCAP/TICAP guidance and the methodology in this RG, are as follows: Chapter 1, “General Plant and Site Description, and Overview of the Safety Analysis” Chapter 2, “Methodologies, Analyses, and Site Evaluations”5 Chapter 3, “Licensing-Basis Events” Chapter 4, “Integrated Evaluations” Chapter 5, “Safety Functions, Design Criteria, and Structure, System, and Component Safety Classifications” Chapter 6, “Safety-Related (SR) Structure, System, and Component Criteria and Capabilities” Chapter 7, “Non-Safety-Related with Special Treatment (NSRST) Structure, System, and Component Criteria and Capabilities” Chapter 8, “Plant Programs” Chapter 9, “Control of Routine Plant Radioactive Effluents, Plant Contamination, and Solid Waste” Chapter 10, “Control of Occupational Dose” Chapter 11, “Organization and Human-System Considerations” Chapter 12, “Post-Construction Inspections, Testing, and Analysis Programs” Other documents incorporated by reference into the SAR (e.g., emergency plan) For applications that follow the SAR structure above, the scope of TICAP as described in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, includes the first eight of these chapters (i.e., those informed by the LMP process).6 Figure 1 illustrates the nexus between ARCAP, TICAP, and other guidance for an advanced reactor application. 5 The LMP process does not specifically address site evaluations, therefore, NEI 21-07, Revision 1, does not address this aspect for an advanced reactor application. However, PRA may be used to inform the design considerations of external hazards associated with potential sites. Therefore, the discussion on SAR content and organization provided in this TICAP RG [DG-1404] is from the perspective of the overall application and includes guidance for aspects considered outside of the LMP process. ARCAP Chapter 2, also includes such guidance on application
