reviews of design, construction, and operations phase quality assurance programs under SRP Chapter 17. In addition, while conducting regulatory audits in accordance with Office Instruction NRR-LIC-111 or NRO-REG-108, “Regulatory Audits,” the technical staff may identify quality-related issues. If this occurs, the technical staff should contact the organization responsible for quality assurance to determine if an inspection should be conducted. 3. For DC applications and COL applications referencing a DC rule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” Review of site characteristics and site-related design parameters in ESP applications or in COL applications referencing an ESP is also performed under the same section. 4. The reviewers of SRP Chapter 19 will coordinate the review of the stability of subsurface materials and foundations related to the seismic risk evaluation with the reviewers of this SRP section. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(1) “Codes and standards,” requires that structures, systems, and components (SSCs) be designed, fabricated, erected, constructed, tested and inspected in accordance with the requirement of applicable codes and standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. 2. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A: A. General Design Criterion 1 (GDC 1), "Quality Standards and Records," requires that SSCs important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. It also requires that appropriate records of the design, fabrication, erection, and testing of SSCs important to safety be maintained
