formation in certain DCs) included in the referenced DC Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. The following aspect of the PRA is reviewed in SRP Section 19.0, specifically: A. probabilistic/PRA methods used for identifying and prioritizing SSCs based on risk significance, B. the SSCs that are significant contributors to plant safety determined by probabilistic/PRA methods, and C. the industry operating experience and reliability data bases used to identify significant failure modes. 2. Certain objectives for reliability assurance activities for the operational stage may be addressed by the QA Program, which is reviewed under SRP Section 17.5. 3. Additional guidance on ITAAC is provided in SRP Section 14.3. 4. Certain objectives for reliability assurance activities for the operational stage may be addressed by the Maintenance Rule Program, which is reviewed under SRP Section 17.6. 5. Other technical branches may need to be involved in the review of the applicant’s deterministic or other methods of analyses used to identify SSCs included in the RAP and the SSCs affected. 17.4-4 March 2007 The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. Per Commission policy in the staff requirement memorandum (SRM) on SECY 95-132, “Policy and Technical Issues Associated with the Regulatory Treatment of Non-Safety Systems (RTNSS) in Passive Plant Designs (SECY 94-084),” Item E, Reliability Assurance Program, the requirement to provide a reliability assurance program is codified by incorporation within the design-specific rulemaking for an applicant for design certification. In addition, this becomes part of an application for a combined license that references that certified design. Furthermore, the RAP for the design stage will be verified
