Content:
– December 2017 nuclear power plants as programs that are required by regulation, are reviewed by NRC staff for acceptability with the results documented in the safety evaluation report, and will be verified for implementation by NRC inspectors. For example, SECY-05-0197 includes the environmental qualification program, as an operational program. The description of the program would contain the information necessary for the staff to make a reasonable assurance finding on the acceptability of the operational program in the review of a COL application. The staff proposed license conditions to provide certainty as to when the operational programs are scheduled to be implemented. As discussed, COL applicants are responsible for providing a full description of the environmental qualification operational program. The design certification applicant may include information in its design control document (DCD) or FSAR on the environmental qualification operational program for use by the COL applicant in developing the operational program. The NRC reviews the information provided by the design certification applicant in its DCD or FSAR for acceptability for reference by COL applicants. Because operational program descriptions are the responsibility of the COL applicant, the operational program information in the DCD or FSAR provided by the design certification applicant will not receive finality per 10 CFR 52.63, “Finality of Standard Design Certifications.” In their FSARs, COL applicants have incorporated by reference the description of the environmental qualification program provided in the DCD or FSAR submitted by the design certification applicant with supplemental information or departures. The NRC reviews the program description provided in the design certification DCD/FSAR for acceptability for reference by COL applicants in preparing the safety evaluation report (SER) on the design certification application. The NRC then reviews the program description provided
