EEE Std 603,” and 7-1.D, “Guidance for Evaluation of the Application of IEEE Std 7-4.3.2.” SRP Sections 7.2 through 7.9 address the I&C systems important to safety that are typically included in a plant design. These sections summarize the review scope and acceptance criteria applicable to each system but reference the appendices of SRP Section 7.1 for the details of requirements, guidance, and review methods. The discussion of review procedures in SRP Sections 7.2 through 7.9 also highlights review topics that have in the past required the most attention by reviewers. For some review topics, branch technical positions (BTPs) have been prepared to resolve technical problems or questions of interpretation that arose during plant reviews. The BTPs are separated from the discussion in the Appendices of SRP Section 7.1 to avoid drowning the overall discussion of acceptance criteria and review methods with details about specific topics. The appendices of SRP Section 7.1 and the Review Procedures discussion of SRP Sections 7.2 through 7.9 reference these BTPs. II. APPLICATION TYPES The type of application under review largely determines the review activities to be conducted and impacts the complexity and scope of the review. NRC regulations provide for the following types of license applications relevant to nuclear power reactors. 1. Construction permits (CPs) as discussed in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.10(b), “Requirement for License,” and 10 CFR 50.23, “Construction Permits.” An application for a CP must be accompanied by a preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR). The CP applications may be submitted for construction of a new facility or alteration of an existing facility. 2. Operating license (OL) applications as discussed in 10 CFR 50.21, “Class 104 Licenses; for Medical Therapy and Research and Development Facilities,” and 10 CFR 50.22, “Class 103 Licenses; for Commercial and Industrial Facilities.” The OL
