heir capability to perform their credited functions.13 9. Plant Programs Section C.8 of NEI 21-07, Revision 1, provides guidance on the information related to plant programs that support the LMP-based safety analysis. Chapter 8 of a SAR following NEI 21-07, Revision 1, should give an overview of the plant programs relied upon to support the LMP-based safety analysis, addressing these programs’ purpose, scope, and performance objectives, as well as applicability to SR SSCs, NSRST SSCs, and operations activities. The applicant should describe the performance objectives of each program and explain how they relate to the targets or special treatments identified for SR and NSRST SSCs. This information should be included in the SAR or in documents that are incorporated by reference. Construction permit applications should include a discussion in the SAR to develop any programs needed to implement special treatments and meet reliability and performance targets for SR SSCs and NSRST SSCs. These may include programs for inservice inspection/testing, maintenance, human factors, training, and reliability assurance. Chapter 8 should cover those plant programs used for special treatments for SR and NSRST SSCs (as described in Chapters 6 and 7, respectively) to ensure that (1) reliability and performance targets are met, and (2) safety-significant uncertainties are addressed as part of DID. In addition, Chapter 8 should also identify and give an overview of the program or programs for documenting SSC reliability and capability targets, as described in Chapters 6 and 7 and ensuring that these targets are met. Program areas could also include human factors, quality assurance, startup testing, and equipment qualification, among others. The discussion of plant programs should address the different plant lifetime phases (i.e., design, construction, testing, and operations), as applicable.
