nonsafety-related as well as safety-related. 16.0-3 Revision 2 - March 2007 At the PSAR or COL application stage, numerical values, graphs, and other data (denoted by brackets in STS Section 16.0 and the generic DCD) are not as complete as necessary for plant operation because of the preliminary nature of the plant design or because determination of specific numerical values is pending future decisions by the licensee on selection and procurement of hardware after issuance of the construction permit or the COL. The review of information provided in this area is limited to whether the values reasonably agree with the expected operational capability of the plant, as stated in the PSAR or the plant-specific DCD. At the final safety analysis report (FSAR) or fuel load authorization stage, bracketed information in the proposed plant-specific TS must be replaced with the final operational information, which must be consistent with the FSAR or plant-specific DCD. The licensing project manager and the assigned reviewers compare the proposed TS to the reference TS for whether the application states adequate technical justification for each difference. In addition, reviewers verify whether the final numerical values, graphs, and other data are correct. Applicants should use the reference TS as the basis for preparation of proposed Appendix A TS for FSAR Section 16.0. The Appendix A TS in support of an operating license under 10 CFR 50.57 or in support of an authorization to load fuel under 10 CFR 52.103 is the final version of TS originally identified in the PSAR or plant-specific DCD and reflect the final refinements in design, test results, and expected method of operation. Each STS NUREG is maintained current and updated by the TSTF traveler process as described on the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov to reflect the following: A. Changes in classes of plants or modifications of NSSSs or balance-of-plant equipment systems. B. Revised regulatory requirements. C. Experience
