ext does not require direct action on the part of the applicant. Information that is general in nature (e.g., general goals for level of detail, expectations for organization) will also be provided in italics. C.1 Staff Position: NEI 21-07 Sections A and B provide acceptable background associated with TICAP guidance development with the following clarification: DG-1404, Revision 1, Page 12 a. The staff considers all discussion in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, to constitute guidance and not requirements; therefore, the staff considers the italicized text in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, to be part of the guidance and not simply background and context. 2. General Plant and Site Description and Overview of the Safety Analysis Section C.1 of NEI 21-07, Revision 1, provides guidance for developing baseline information related to the plant description, the site description, the safety analysis based on the LMP methodology, and a summary of reference or source materials. As described in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, the information in Chapter 1 of a SAR that follows NEI 21-07, Revision 1, should give the reviewer a basic understanding of the overall facility, such as the type of permit, license, certification, or approval requested; the number of reactor units; a brief description of the proposed plant location; and the type of advanced reactor being proposed. The site description should provide an overview of the actual physical, environmental, and demographic features of the proposed site, and how they relate to the safety analysis. For example, the site description should include geological, demographic, seismological, hydrological, and meteorological characteristics of the site and its vicinity. In NEI 21-07, Revision 1, NEI defines the “affirmative safety case” as a collection of technical and programmatic information that demonstrates that the design meets the performance objectives of the technology-inclusive fundamental safety functions during design-specific anticipated
