s required. 17.5-10 Draft Revision 1 – August 2014 ii. Reviews the proposed tests and experiments not described in the SAR. These tests and experiments are reviewed prior to implementation. IRB also verifies that tests or experiments do not require a technical specification change or NRC review. iii.

Reviews violations, deviations, and reportable events that are required to be reported to the NRC in writing within 24 hours. This review includes the results of investigations and recommendations resulting from such investigations to prevent or reduce the probability of recurrence of the event. v.

Reviews corrective actions for significant conditions adverse to quality. vii. Audits the adequacy of the audit program every 2 years. (3) IRB reviews are supplemented as follows: i. A qualified person, independent of the preparer, reviews the proposed changes in the procedures as described in the SAR prior to implementation of the change to determine if a technical specification change or NRC approval is required. ii.
