ipment performance consistent with the risk insights and key assumptions for the RAP SSCs. One acceptable method for integrating the RAP into operational programs is by implementation of the following operational programs: (1) maintenance rule program consistent with RG 1.160, with all RAP SSCs being included in the scope of maintenance rule and categorized as HSS, (2) QA program for safety-related SSCs established through Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, (3) QA controls for nonsafety-related RAP SSCs established in accordance with Part V of SRP Section 17.5 and (4) inservice inspection, inservice testing, surveillance testing, and maintenance programs for the RAP SSCs to maintain equipment performance consistent with risk insights and key assumptions and to address dominant failure modes. B.4 ITAAC for Design Reliability Assurance Program In accordance with SRP Section 14.3, “Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria,” for a COL application referencing a DC, the staff should confirm that the application specifies the D-RAP ITAAC as approved in the DC (see Section A.8 of this SRP section). Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs. The RAP is implemented in accordance with the Commission policy described in SECY-95-132, Item E. The requirement to provide a RAP is codified by incorporation within the design-specific rulemaking for a DC applicant. Meeting this requirement provides assurance that (1) the plant is designed, constructed, and operated in a manner that is consistent with the risk insights and key assumptions from the probabilistic, deterministic, and other methods of analysis used to identify and quantify risk, (2) the RAP SSCs do not degrade to an unacceptable level of reliability, availability, or condition during plant operations, (3) the frequency of transients that challenge these SSCs
