tances, it will be the Staff's judgment that, for a specific case under review, emphasis should be placed on specific aspects of the design, while other aspects of the design need not receive the same emphasis and in-depth review. Typical reasons for such a non-uniform emphasis are the introduction of new design features or the utilization in the design of features previously reviewed and found acceptable. However, in all cases, the review must be sufficient to conclude conformance to the acceptance criteria, i.e., the requirements of the NRC's regulations. IV. Evaluation Findings The Staff verifies that sufficient information has been provided and the review supports the following conclusions as stated in the SER: The NRC staff concludes that the design of the control systems is acceptable and meet the relevant requirements of General Design Criteria (GDC) 1, 13, 19, and 24, and 10 CFR 50.34(f), 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(1), and 10 CFR 50.55a(h). The Staff conducted a review of these systems for conformance to the guidelines in the regulatory guides and industry codes and standards applicable to these systems. The Staff concluded that the applicant/licensee adequately classified and identified the guidelines applicable to these systems. The Staff finds that the control systems are appropriately designed and are of sufficient quality to minimize the potential for challenges to safety systems. Based upon the review of the system design for conformance to the guidelines, the Staff finds that there is reasonable assurance that the systems fully conform to the guidelines applicable to these systems. Therefore the Staff finds that the requirements of GDC 1 and 10 CFR 50.55a(a)(1) have been met. The Staff conducted a review of the plant transient response to normal load changes and anticipated operational occurrences such as reactor trip, turbine trip, upsets in the feedwater and steam bypass systems. The Staff concludes that the control systems are capable of maintaining system
