ication plan should consider the proposed analysis methodologies (e.g., fuel performance codes), the use of existing data, and any ongoing testing or plans to use lead test specimens. If the applicant is using legacy data, it should justify the applicability of the data to the proposed facility (e.g., by confirming that the data were collected for a fuel fabricated consistent with the proposed fuel design and irradiated in an appropriate environment among other factors). 7. Safety-Related (SR) Systems, Structures, and Components Criteria and Capabilities Section C.6 of NEI 21-07, Revision 1, provides guidance on the information related to the SR classification of SSCs, as well as their associated design criteria and performance capabilities. Chapter 6 of a SAR following NEI 21-07, Revision 1, should give details on SSCs classified as SR following the guidance in Chapter 5 of NEI 21-07, Revision 1. In particular, the SAR should give further detail on all design criteria and performance capabilities applying to SR SSCs, including safety-related design criteria, performance-based targets for reliability and capabilities, and special treatment requirements to provide sufficient confidence that the performance-based targets for the design will be achieved in the construction of the plant and maintained throughout the licensed plant life. For those SR SSCs whose reliability and capabilities have not been confirmed at the CP stage, the application should include a discussion in the SAR on how the applicant intends to confirm, at the OL stage, that the reliability and capability performance targets assumed in the PRA have been met. The application should describe any testing and validation planned to confirm SR SSC performance capabilities and availability, including any special treatment to be applied to the SR SSCs. The safety-related design criteria10 are derived from the RFDC, which are developed from the RSFs determined in the LBE selection process described in
