. o 10 CFR 52.47(a)(23), requires a design certification application for light-water reactor (LWR) designs to present a description and analysis of design features for the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. o 10 CFR 52.79(a)(38), requires a combined license application for LWR designs to present a description and analysis of design features for the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. o 10 CFR 52.137(a)(23), requires a standard design approval application for LWR designs to present a description and analysis of design features for the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. o 10 CFR 52.157(f)(23), requires a manufacturing license application for LWR designs to present a description and analysis of design features for the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. o The design certification document for each design is incorporated by reference in the associated appendix of 10 CFR Part 52. A certified design may include a requirement for the implementation of severe accident management guidelines (SAMGs). Consequently, DG-1335, Page 3 for plants referencing such a certified design, the implementation of SAMGs is a regulatory requirement. For others, it is voluntary.
