To provide additional guidance and information outside the scope of the LMP and NEI 21-07, Revision 1, that the NRC staff has determined is also relevant and should be included as part of the application content related to the first eight chapters of the SAR. DG-1404, Revision 1, Page 10 Accordingly, this RG endorses NEI 21-07, Revision 1, with clarifications and additions, as one acceptable approach for use in developing certain portions of an SAR for a license, permit, or certification application to the NRC for a non-LWR using the methodology endorsed in RG 1.233. Additional details for each chapter appear in the corresponding section below. In summary, the guidance in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, focuses on the portions of the SAR containing material addressed using the LMP process in NEI 18-04, Revision 1. The guidance in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, with the clarifications and additions described in this regulatory guide, will promote the submission of complete information to the NRC and ensure that application content is commensurate with the risk significance and complexity of the design and associated safety analysis. NEI 21-07, Revision 1, provides a standardized content development process to facilitate efficient SAR preparation by the applicant, NRC review of the application, and, if approved by the NRC, maintenance by the licensee. The guidance in NEI 21-07, Revision 1, should optimize the scope, content, and level of detail of each application, based on the risk significance and complexity of the design and associated safety analysis and the nexus between design elements and public health and safety.
