Rev. 4 — June 1997 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission’s policy to inform the nuclear industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission’s regulations and compliance with them is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new information and experience. Comments and suggestions for improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington, D.C. 20555. NUREG-0800 (Formerly NUREG-75/087) U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STANDARD REVIEW PLAN OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION Appendix 7.1-B Guidance for Evaluation of Conformance to ANSI/IEEE Std 279 10 CFR Part 50, 50.55a(h) requires that protection systems meet the requirements of ANSI/IEEE Std 279, "Criteria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations." The scope of ANSI/IEEE Std 279 includes those systems that actuate a reactor trip, and that in the event of a serious reactor accident, actuate engineered safety features. This appendix discusses the requirements of ANSI/IEEE Std 279, Sections 3 and 4, as they are used in the review of the reactor trip systems (RTS) and engineered safety features actuation systems (ESFAS) to determine that these systems meet the NRC regulations. Although required by NRC regulations only for protection systems, the criteria of
