topical report NEDO-31960 and Supplement 1 were approved by the NRC in Reference 2. These reports provide long-term solutions (LTSs) to BWR stability issues and present methods to support plant system designs that comply with General Design Criteria (GDCs) 10 and 12. 4. COL Action Items and Certification Requirements and Restrictions. For a DC application, the review will also address COL action items and requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters). For a COL application referencing a DC, a COL applicant must address COL action items (referred to as COL license information in certain DCs) included in the referenced DC. Additionally, a COL applicant must address requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) included in the referenced DC. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. General information on transient and accident analyses is provided in SRP Section 15.0. 2. Design basis radiological consequence analyses associated with design basis accidents are reviewed under SRP Section 15.0.3. 3. Determination of the adequacy of the hardware implementation of stability LTS is reviewed under SRP Sections 7.0-A and 7.2. 4. Determination of stability during anticipated transients without scram events is reviewed under Section 15.8. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. GDC 10, “Reactor Design,” requires that specified acceptable fuel design limits (SAFDL) not be exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including conditions that result in unstable power oscillations with the scram system available. 15.9-3 March 2007 2. GDC 12, “Suppression of Reactor Power Oscillations,” requires that oscillations be either not possible or reliably and
