A major ITP objective (including preoperational testing and testing during initial operation) is to verify that SSCs are capable of performing their safety functions as specified in the design and as assumed/credited in safety analyses. Application of 10 CFR 52.79 to the ITP ensures that the applicant submits adequate information, commitments, and plans to demonstrate that the capability will exist for initial operation within the bounds of the design and safety analyses and that initial testing activities will be conducted in a sequence and manner that minimizes operational reliance on untested SSCs/safety functions. 7. 10 CFR 52.80(a) requires COL applicants to include in the application the proposed ITAAC that are sufficient to assure that the SSCs in this area of review have been constructed and will be operated in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC’s regulations.

When necessary, the reviewer will prepare one or more requests for additional information for the applicant or holder and will review the responses for acceptability. The reviewer is responsible for the review and evaluation of all subsequent amendments to the SAR until the ITP is completed to ensure that any
