on-system-based RAP ITAAC for the design stage. 7. The staff review verified the acceptability of the qualification requirements for members of the expert panel if an expert panel is utilized. 17.4-10 March 2007 A. COL SER The RAP is implemented while specific equipment is being designed (site-specific SSCs), procured, fabricated, constructed and preoperation tested to ensure that SSC reliability is properly considered. The applicant has developed and implemented a process that ensures that SSC reliability is maintained during plant operations, and is implemented through existing operational programs. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. A staff review verified that the organization, design control, procedures and instructions, records, audits plans, corrective action, procurement, fabrication, construction, and preoperation testing QA attributes were appropriate to implement an effective RAP. The staff also verified through the audit process that these QA attributes were properly implemented. 2. A staff review verified the acceptability of the process used for identifying site- specific SSCs that are significant contributors to plant safety as determined by deterministic, or other methods of analysis. Probabilistic/PRA methods used for identifying site-specific SSCs are addressed in Section 19 of the SE. 3. A staff review verified the site-specific SSCs within the scope of the RAP based on deterministic, or other methods of analysis to be acceptable. Site-specific SSCs within the scope of the RAP based on probabilistic/PRA methods are addressed in Section 19 of the SE. 4. Industry operating experience and reliability data bases used to identify significant failure modes are addressed in Section 19 of the SE. 5. A staff review verified the acceptability of procurement, fabrication, and test specifications for SSCs within the scope of the RAP reflect the reliability values assumed in the probabilistic/PRA, deterministic analysis, or other methods. 6. The
