ion, and steps to be taken to resolve the situation. BTP 7.14-34 Revision 6 - August 2016 B.3.1.8.3 Resource Characteristics of the SOP The resource characteristics that the SOP should exhibit include methods/tools. Methods/tools involve a description of the methods, techniques and tools that will be used to operate the software system. The SOP should describe the facilities required to operate the delivered software. It should list and describe the software, hardware and associated documentation required to operate the delivered software. B.3.1.8.4 Review Guidance for the SOP The primary item to check when evaluating the SOP is completeness. The reviewer should determine if all the required items are covered by the SOP. The security of the system, and in particular, the means used to ensure that there are no unauthorized changes to hardware, software and system parameters per RG 1.152. The reviewer should use judgment to assess the acceptability of these plans. In general, the existence of such a plan shows that the applicant or licensee has considered the problem and is prepared to respond to the problem. B.3.1.9 Software Safety Plan (SSP) NUREG/CR-6101, Section 3.1.5 “Software Safety Plan,” and Section 4.1.5 “Software Safety Plan,” contain guidance on SSPs. (Note: Section 3.1.5 of NUREG/CR-6101, which was issued in June of 1993, is based on a Draft of IEEE Std 1228-1994. The latest revision of IEEE Std 1228-1994 (R 2002), “IEEE Standard for Software Safety Plans,” has not been endorsed by a RG.) A SSP should plan the implementation of all of the necessary software safety analysis activities. Guidance for the appropriate software safety analysis activities are found in the following sources. NUREG/CR-6101, Section 3.2.2, “Requirements Safety Analysis,” and Section 4.2.2, “Requirements Safety Analysis,” contain guidance on safety analysis activities. NUREG/CR-6101, Section 3.3.3, “Software Design Safety Analysis,” and Section 4.3.3,
