ould describe each operational program at a functional level and at an increased level of detail where implementation choices could materially affect program effectiveness and acceptability. 8 The NRC staff addressed operational programs in SECY-05-0197, “Review of Operational Programs in Combined License Applications and Generic Emergency Planning Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria,” dated October 28, 2005 (Ref. 94). The Commission endorsed the staff recommendations on operational programs in SRM- SECY-05-0197, dated February 22, 2006 (Ref. 95) DG-1325, Page-86 For a COL applicant referencing a DC, the referenced DCD typically identifies COL action items that specify that the COL applicant provides a full description of each operational program. The COL applicant should satisfy these COL action items in the COL FSAR. If the DCD does not include such COL action items, the COL applicant remains obligated to provide a full description of each operational program to avoid the need for programmatic ITAAC. SRP Section 13.4, “Operational Programs,” identifies the operational programs that the FSAR should fully describe and provides guidance for the content and format of information to be included. Table 13.4-x in SRP Section 13.4 identifies the list of operational programs and the associated regulatory requirements and implementation milestones. This table illustrates an acceptable method of presenting the information in Section 13.4 of the COL FSAR. Other SRP sections describe the technical information that the FSAR should include to fully describe each specific operational program. For example, SRP Section 3.9.6, “Functional Design, Qualification, and Inservice Testing Programs for Pumps, Valves, and Dynamic Restraints,” specifies the information that the FSAR should include to fully describe the IST operational program for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints. The COL applicant may incorporate by reference in its FSAR specific provisions
