onstruction and installation specifications be completed and available for audit if such information is necessary for the Commission to make its safety determination." Applicability — All I&C safety systems that are part of applications for design certification under 10 CFR 52, Subpart B, or combined licenses under 10 CFR 52, Subpart C. Review Methods — Sufficient information for an NRC safety determination should be provided for each I&C system. BTP HICB-16 provides additional guidance for evaluating the sufficiency of the information about I&C system in design certification applications made under 10 CFR 52, Subpart B. r. 52.47(b)(2)(i) Innovative Means of Accomplishing Safety Functions "Certification of a standard design which differs significantly from the light water reactor designs described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section or utilizes simplified, inherent, passive, or other innovative means to accomplish its safety functions will be granted only if (A) (1) The performance of each safety feature of the design has been demonstrated through either analysis, appropriate test programs, experience, or a combination thereof; (2) Interdependent effects among the safety features of the design have been found acceptable by analysis, appropriate test programs, experience, or a combination thereof; (3) Sufficient data exist on the safety features of the design to assess the analytical tools used for safety analyses over a sufficient range of normal operating conditions, transient conditions, and specified accident sequences, including equilibrium core conditions; and (4) The scope of the design is complete except for site-specific elements such as the service water intake structure and the ultimate heat sink; or (B) There has been acceptable testing of an appropriately sited, full-size, prototype of the design over a sufficient range of normal operating conditions, transient conditions, and specified accident sequences, including equilibrium core conditions.
