providing RAP related inputs in the design process. (4) The risk and reliability organization involvement in design reviews. b. Design Control (1) The configuration control process for maintaining the list of SSCs within the scope of RAP similar to the control of a quality list. (2) How the design control and change processes provide a feedback mechanism for notifying the appropriate organization of changes in the design of SSCs within the scope of the RAP that could affect the probabilistic/PRA, deterministic, or other methods used to identify SSCs that are significant contributors to plant safety. 17.4-6 March 2007 (3) The interface between the risk and reliability and the design organizations for determining that the performance of SSCs within the scope of the RAP relate to the reliability assumptions in the probabilistic/PRA, deterministic, or other methods used to identify SSCs that are significant contributors to plants safety. (4) Engineering design controls applied for determining the SSCs within the scope of the RAP. (5) The process for proposing an alternative design to reliability performance. For example, is the revised design reviewed to provide confidence that the current reliability assumptions are still valid. c. The controls for procedures and instructions used to implement the RAP. d. The controls for records of activities involving SSCs within the scope of RAP. e. The corrective action process applied to SSCs within the scope of RAP. f. The audit plans for conducting QA audits of RAP activities. 3. The expert panel qualifications in the areas of personnel knowledgeable in the design, operation and maintenance of a plant, and experience necessary to perform the SSC selections if an expert panel is utilized. 4. Deterministic or other methods of analysis used to identify SSCs included in the RAP and the SSCs affected. 5. A non-system-based ITAAC for the RAP that provides reasonable assurance that the design of SSCs within the scope of the RAP is
