ed design, the DCD GTS of the referenced design provide the guidelines for the evaluation of proposed plant-specific TS. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. 10 CFR 50.34 requires applicants at the CP stage to justify the selection of those variables, conditions, or other items identified through preliminary safety analysis as probable subjects for plant-specific TS. Special attention should be given to items that could influence the final design significantly. At the OL stage, compliance with 10 CFR 50.34 requires applicants to propose TS in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36. 10 CFR 50.34 requirements provide assurance that items requiring special attention at the CP stage are identified sufficiently early to preclude the need for any significant design change to support the facility's final TS. To meet 10 CFR 50.34 requirements at the OL stage requires that the applicant propose TS in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36 and 10 CFR 50.36a. The safety benefit of such a process is addressed in Subsection II.2 of this SRP section. 10 CFR 52.47(a)(11) requires DC applications to include TS prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36 and 10 CFR 50.36a. 10 CFR 52.79(b) requires COL applications to include TS prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36 and 10 CFR 50.36a. 2. 10 CFR 50.36 requires proposed TS to include the following: A. 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(i)(A) Safety Limits. Safety limits apply to important process variables necessary for an appropriate level of protection for the integrity of certain physical barriers that guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactive material. B. 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(ii)(A) Limiting Safety System Settings. Limiting safety system settings are for automatic protective devices affecting variables with significant safety functions. C. 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) LCOs. LCOs are the lowest functional capability or
