n aspects of the fuel design in previous PSARs, FSARs, and licensing topical reports. All previous reviews on which the current review is dependent should be referenced so that a completely documented safety evaluation is contained in the plant safety evaluation report. In particular, the NRC safety evaluation reports for all relevant licensing topical reports should be cited. Certain generic reviews have also been performed by CPB reviewers with findings issued as NUREG- or WASH-series reports. At the present time these reports include References 9, 11, 21, 31, 32, 35, and 36, and they should all be appropriately cited in the plant safety evaluation report. Applicable Regulatory Guides (Refs. 6, 22, 28-30, and 41) should also be mentioned in the plant safety evaluation reports. Deviation from these guides or positions should be explained. After briefly discussing related previous reviews, the plant safety evaluation should concentrate on areas where the application is not identical to previously reviewed and approved applications and areas related to newly discovered problems. Analytical predictions discussed in Subsection II.G;:3.will be reviewed in PSARs, FSARs, or licensing topical reports. When thi methods are being reviewed, calculations by the staff may be performed to verify the adequacy of the analytical methods. Thereafter, audit calculations will not usually be performed to check the results of an approved method that has been submitted in a Safety Analysis Report. Calculations, benchmarking exercises, and additional reviews of generic methods may be undertaken, however, at any time the clear need arises to reconfirm the adequacy of the method. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer should verify that sufficient information has been provided to satisfy the requirements of this SRP section and that the evaluation supports conclusions of the following type, to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: 4.2-13 Rev. 2 - July 1981 The staff concludes
