PGA. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES General Principles The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. If the application deviates from these acceptance criteria, the staff should determine that the proposed alternative provides an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. The staff will review the description of the PRA and its results in order to make the evaluation findings described in this SRP section. In addition to a qualitative description, the staff will review some quantitative results (e.g., mean core-damage frequencies, mean large release frequencies, and importance measures). The NRC should review this information to ensure that it is able to conclude that the applicant has performed sufficiently complete and scrutable analyses, the results and insights support the application, and the applicant has in place programs and processes that will enable it to maintain an up-to-date PRA for these uses and applications. RG 1.206, Section C.I.19, provides detailed guidance on the information expected to be included in Chapter 19 of the applicant’s FSAR. Specific application content that the staff should review is not reproduced in this SRP section, only review guidance on specific topics. Instead, the staff should use RG 1.206 in parallel with the SRP to determine that the appropriate topics have been addressed by the applicant. Although Chapter 19 of the applicant’s FSAR should include the information needed by the staff to determine that the relevant acceptance criteria have been met, some staff audits of the PRA and supporting analyses may be necessary to fully understand, review, and confirm the PRA results, insights, and associated analytical bases. The staff will refer to the summary reports from these audits in the SER. For instances in which additional
