Content:
th set of changes is to the information and formatting guidance for uncompleted ITAAC notifications. After these changes, the format of uncompleted ITAAC notifications better match the format of ITAAC closure notifications, which will make it easier for readers to compare an uncompleted ITAAC notification with a later ITAAC closure notification on the same ITAAC. Also, the uncompleted ITAAC notifications now focus more on the methods for completing the ITAAC than on the schedule for completing ITAAC activities. Furthermore, the NRC staff has accepted NEI’s proposal to use ITAAC closure notification examples to inform the content expectations for uncompleted ITAAC notifications because the revised and improved ITAAC closure notification examples meet the “specific procedures and analytical methods” standard for uncompleted ITAAC notifications. The sixth set of changes adds guidance on the kind of D-RAP ITAAC that is acceptable for inclusion in a COL, on methods for closing such ITAAC, and on the relationship between D-RAP ITAAC closure and engineering design verification inspections. The seventh change adds guidance on the closure of “reference ITAAC,” i.e., ITAAC that have an entry in the “Design Commitment” column, but the “Inspections, Tests, Analyses” and “Acceptance Criteria” fields contain only a reference to another ITAAC. The eighth change is a revised discussion on licensee practices for compiling ITAAC completion packages. The ninth change is the addition of guidance on mitigating and managing issues associated with the large number of ITAAC that are expected to be completed in the last year of construction. The tenth change is the incorporation of guidance in RG 1.215, Revision 1, on the topics of sensitive information in ITAAC notifications and partial ITAAC closure notifications. Background The regulation 10 CFR 52.99 includes requirements for documenting and reporting that the inspections, tests, and analyses have been performed
