REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of instrumentation and controls Secondary - None Review Note: The revision numbers of Regulatory Guides (RG) and the years of endorsed industry standards referenced in this Standard Review Plan (SRP) section are centrally maintained in SRP Section 7.1-T, “Regulatory Requirements, Acceptance Criteria, and Guidelines for Instrumentation and Control Systems Important to Safety,” (Table 7-1). Therefore, the individual revision numbers of RGs (except RG 1.97) and years of endorsed industry standards are not shown in this section. References to industry standards incorporated by reference into regulation (IEEE Std 279-1971 and IEEE Std 603-1991) and industry standards that are not endorsed by the agency do include the associated year in this section. See Table 7-1 to ensure that the appropriate RGs and endorsed industry standards are used for the review. 7.1-2 Revision 6 - August 2016 I. AREAS OF REVIEW The objectives of the review of safety analysis report (SAR) Section 7.1 are to confirm: (1) that the instrumentation and control (I&C) system design includes the functions necessary to operate the nuclear power plant safely under normal conditions and to maintain it in a safe condition under accident conditions, (2) that these functions, the implementing systems and equipment have been properly classified to identify their importance to safety, and (3) that commitments have been made to use appropriate quality standards for I&C systems for the design, fabrication, construction, and testing of I&C systems and equipment commensurate with the importance of the safety functions performed. 1. The necessary functions are those needed to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated operating ranges, to maintain these variables and systems within their prescribed operating ranges, to automatically initiate the operation of systems and components to assure that fuel design limits are not exceeded
