intenance programs). The process should also address the (1) establishment of reliability, availability, or condition performance goals for the RAP SSCs, (2) establishment of performance and condition monitoring requirements to provide reasonable assurance that RAP SSCs do not degrade to an unacceptable level of reliability, availability, or condition during plant operations, (3) for non-safety-related RAP SSCs, establishment of QA controls for activities during the operations phase in 17.4-12 Draft Revision 1 – May 2013 accordance with the provisions in Part V of SRP Section 17.5, and (4) consideration of dominant failure modes of RAP SSCs in meeting the objectives of the RAP during plant operation. COMBINED LICENSE APPLICATION B.1 Plant-Specific Reliability Assurance Program The applicant should appropriately update the description of the D-RAP to include relevant COL site- and plant-specific information (e.g., design, program, procedural, and organizational information). This includes (1) identifying the SSCs within the scope of the plant-specific RAP (i.e., the RAP SSCs identified in the DC, updated using COL site- and plant-specific information), and (2) establishing the implementation controls of D-RAP (see Section A.2) that are applied during the COL design and construction activities prior to initial fuel load These implementation controls are processes and controls that ensure the plant will be designed and constructed in a manner that is consistent with the risk insights and key assumptions from probabilistic, deterministic, and other methods of analysis used to identify and quantify risk. If needed, the staff can perform one or more audits to verify that the applicant appropriately applied the implementation controls of D-RAP during design activities in the COL application phase. B.2 Quality Assurance Associated with Design and Construction Activities For the non-safety-related RAP SSCs, the application should specify the QA controls for COL design and
