see shall perform, and the acceptance criteria that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC’s regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are contained in SRP Section 7.1, “Instrumentation and Controls – 7.7-5 Revision 6 - August 2016 Introduction,” SRP Table 7-1, and SRP Appendix 7.1-A, which list standards, RGs, and branch technical positions (BTPs). The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC’s regulations. 1. SRP Appendix 7.1-B, “Guidance for Evaluation of Conformance to IEEE Std 279,” provides guidance for evaluating conformance to the requirements of IEEE Std 279-1971. 2. SRP Appendix 7.1-C, “Guidance for Evaluation of Conformance to IEEE Std 603,” provides guidance for evaluating conformance to IEEE Std 603-1991. Although compliance with IEEE Std 603-1991 is required by 10 CFR 50.55a(h) only for safety systems, the criteria of IEEE Std 603-1991 may be used as review guidance for any I&C system. Therefore, for control systems, the reviewer may use the concepts in IEEE Std 603-1991 as a starting point. 3. SRP Appendix 7.1-D, “Guidance for Evaluation of The Application of IEEE Std 7-4.3.2,” provides guidance for evaluating conformance to the acceptance criteria contained in RG 1.152, “Criteria for Use of
