ities to be inspected. The NRC staff does not perform a safety review on submitted materials, but may review issues through the NRC’s inspection program. d. License conditions may be used to include operational restrictions for the facility, impose restrictions on operating power levels, require performance of special tests, and impose operational constraints associated with implementation of specific design features (e.g., containment sump screen sweepers). e. License conditions may be used to include implementation schedules for operational programs. Final Safety Analysis Report Commitments COL applicants may address the completion of postlicense information commitments or COL action items that cannot be completed until after issuance of the license through an FSAR commitment. In this context, an FSAR commitment is a commitment to provide updated information in the FSAR, which contains the design-basis portion of the licensing basis, or other licensing-basis documents that the NRC staff has considered appropriate to ensure that the licensing basis for the facility is up to date. This approach may also be used for other applicant-controlled documents such as quality assurance plans, emergency plans, and security plans. The staff has identified two approaches for providing the information necessary to maintain the design basis for the facility: (1) include specific design-basis information items in a license condition and (2) include design-basis information in FSAR updates required by 10 CFR 50.71(e). The first approach focuses on ensuring that the FSAR update includes information that is identified during the COL review process and is included in the design basis. The second approach focuses on ensuring that routine FSAR updates that have traditionally occurred following issuance of an operating license are performed.
