under a quality assurance program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES 1. Assignment of Review Responsibilities The lead reviewer for the evaluation model should perform an assessment of the submittal in order to determine what areas of reviewer expertise are required to begin the review process. Evaluation models often contain complex mathematical and physical models that encompass multiple scientific and engineering disciplines. The lead reviewer should identify qualified personnel and their areas of review responsibility. Reviews often require personnel with highly specialized areas of expertise which may not be available in the NRR technical staff. 2. Acceptance Review An acceptance review is a preliminary process of assessment of the completeness and apparent acceptability of quality of the documents submitted in order to commit NRC to a detailed review of the application. The reviewers of the code or codes comprising the evaluation model should perform an acceptance review consistent with the guidance provided in NRC Office Instruction No. LIC-101, revision 1 , “Licence Amendment Review Procedures,” March 27, 2002, Adams ML020660141 (Ref. 3). The reviewers should ensure that all areas discussed in the section titled Documentation are addressed in the topical report submitted by a licensee or vendor. The documentation is not required to have the same section titles or organization as described above, but all of the relevant subject matter must be included. The material must be sufficiently detailed to permit the reviewers to begin a review without immediately requesting additional documentation in order to understand the licensing submittal. The results of the acceptance review should be documented in a letter to the organization submitting the evaluation model for review. Submittals that do not contain the required material should also be processed in accordance with NRC Office Instruction No. LIC-101,
