pecified in the applicant’s FSAR. Commission Paper SECY-05-0197 summarizes the NRC position regarding the full description of operational programs to be provided by COL applicants. Section C.IV.4 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.206, “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),” provides guidance for COL applicants with respect to fully describing plant operational programs. The staff will conduct inspections of the IST and MOV operational programs in preparation for plant startup. C. For a DC application, the staff will review the design provisions specified in the applicant’s DCD to ensure accessibility for the performance of IST activities. The staff will also review the description of the IST program for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints provided by the DC applicant in its DCD for acceptability for reference by a COL applicant in its FSAR. Operational programs, such as IST and MOV programs, are not completely reviewed and approved as part of the DC review, and they do not have finality as part of a design certification review. D. For passive new reactors, the staff will review the COL applicant’s description of the IST activities for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints within the scope of the RTNSS program consistent with the Commission policy in SECY-95-132 as described in the public NRC memorandum dated July 24, 1995, on RTNSS equipment. 6 ASME BPV Code, Section XI, rather than the ASME OM Code, might be applicable for preservice and inservice examination and testing of dynamic restraints if an applicant references a previous edition of the ASME BPV Code. 3.9.6-6 Revision 4 – March 2017 E. The staff will review the applicant’s plans to follow the guidance in NUREG-1482, Revision 2, “Guidelines for Inservice Testing at Nuclear Power Plants,” October 2013. F. The staff will verify that the COL application includes provisions for the implementation of the IST programs for pumps, valves, and dynamic restraints (including
