SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC 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 regulations. 1. SRP Table 7-1, Section 3 (Staff Requirements Memoranda), Section 4 (RGs), and Section 5 (Branch Technical Positions), list the SRP acceptance criteria applicable to I&C systems important to safety.

Staff Requirements 7.1-6 Draft Revision 6 – August 2015 Memoranda provide the NRC’s decisions and directions on the issues discussed in the SECY. • RGs describe acceptable methods for meeting regulatory requirements and provide guidance to applicant or licensees. Industry codes and standards set forth industry consensus requirements and
