licable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. For a DC application, each reviewer ensures that sufficient information has been provided and concludes that the Tier 1 information is acceptable; however, safety findings for the standard design are based on Tier 2, not Tier 1, information because Tier 1 information is derived from Tier 2. Consequently, any design information presented in Tier 1 also should be in the appropriate Tier 2 sections. Further, the purpose of ITAAC is to verify that a facility referencing the design certification is built and operates in accordance with the design certification and applicable regulations. The evaluation findings on Tier 1 from each reviewer are provided to the project manager to be combined in FSER Chapter 14.3 to support the following overall conclusion: 1. The staff reviewed the Tier 1 information in the (standard design) DCD in accordance with the guidance in SRP Section 14.3. Based on this review and a review of the selection methodology and criteria for the development of the Tier 1 information in Section 14.3 of the DCD, the staff concludes that the top-level design features and performance characteristics of the SSCs are appropriately described in Tier 1 and the Tier 1 information is acceptable. 14.3-8 March 2007 2. Further, the Tier 1 design descriptions can be verified adequately by ITAAC. Therefore, the staff concludes that the ITAAC are necessary and sufficient for reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, then a facility referencing the certified design can be constructed and operated in compliance with the design certification and applicable regulations. For a COL application, the complete facility can be verified by ITAAC and the ITAAC are necessary and sufficient. See 10 CFR 52.97(b) V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this
