hapter 7 of the SAR should address each of the I&C systems included in the areas of review for Section 7.1 of the SRP. This review should confirm that all I&C systems, including embedded computers and software necessary to support the operation of safety systems, are identified in Section 7.1 and discussed in subsequent sections of Chapter 7. The safety systems supported by the I&C system are described in other sections of the SAR (particularly in Chapters 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 18). The review of the systems identified is coordinated with the branches which have primary review responsibility for the supported systems. 2. The acceptance criteria applicable to each of the I&C systems important to safety are reviewed to confirm that the appropriate criteria have been identified for each system. Appendix 7.1-A identifies the Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP 7.1-10 acceptance criteria applicable to the I&C systems important to safety, and describes the method and scope of the review to verify conformance. 3. The guidelines applicable to each of the I&C systems important to safety are reviewed to confirm that the appropriate guidelines have been identified for each system. Appendix 7.1-A identifies the guidelines applicable to the I&C systems important to safety, and describes the method and scope of the review to verify conformance. 4. When the applicant/licensee takes exceptions to the guidelines applicable to I&C systems important to safety, the bases for such exception are reviewed to confirm that they are acceptable. The bases for the exceptions to the guidelines should demonstrate that a significant reduction in the margin of safety does not result, and that the exceptions do not result in nonconformance to the requirements of the acceptance criteria. 5. When the applicant/licensee proposes I&C systems that incorporate digital computers, the review includes the supplemental guidance for digital computer based systems described in part II above. Appendix 7.0-A describes
