Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) considers acceptable for use in satisfying the requirements for documenting the completion of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) for the implementation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, (10 CFR) 52.99 “Inspection during construction; ITAAC schedules and notifications; NRC notices” (Ref. 1).
