teria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” which endorses IEEE Std 7-4.3.2, “IEEE Standard Criteria for Digital Computers in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Generating Stations.” 4. Item II.Q, “Defense against Common-Mode Failures in Digital Instrument and Control Systems,” of the Staff Requirements Memorandum (SRM) on SECY-93-087, “Policy, Technical, and Licensing Issues Pertaining to Evolutionary and Advanced Light Water Reactor (ALWR) Designs,” provides guidance on Diversity and Defense-in-Depth. SRP BTP 7-19, “Guidance for Evaluation of Diversity and Defense-in-Depth in Digital Computer-Based Instrumentation and Control Systems,” provides additional guidance. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. Typical reasons for a non-uniform emphasis are the introduction of new design features or the utilization in the design of features previously reviewed and found acceptable. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these specific acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives to the SRP criteria provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. SRP Section 7.1 describes the general procedures to be followed in reviewing any instrumentation and control system. This part of SRP Section 7.2 highlights specific topics that should be emphasized in the RTS review. 1. The review should include an evaluation of the RTS design against the requirements of IEEE Std 603-1991 or IEEE Std 279-1971, depending upon the applicant or licensee’s commitment regarding design criteria. For computer-based RTSs, guidance is provided by RG 1.152. SRP Appendices 7.1-B and 7.1-C discuss the requirements of IEEE Std 279-1971 and IEEE Std 603-1991, respectively, and how the requirements
