Content:
onents that may be used in nuclear power plant I&C systems. For an overview of the purpose, content, and use of the SRP in general refer to the introductory section of the SRP. Section 7.0 provides an overview of the process used by HICB staff to review both the I&C portion of license applications and the I&C portions of generic safety evaluations of specific topics. Guidance is provided to the reviewer in applying Chapter 7 of the SRP to these reviews. Figure 7.0-1 provides an overview of the HICB review process. Each of the reviewer activities shown in this figure is discussed below. Ideally, applicants will request that the Staff’s review begin during the early stages Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP 7.0-2 of the development life cycle. Early interaction with the applicant is important so that differences between the Staff and the applicant may be identified as early as possible. The Staff should work with the applicant to expeditiously resolve these issues in order to minimize the impact upon design and implementation activities. Early resolution of fundamental issues minimizes the rework necessary in areas where changes to the design bases are needed to resolve Staff concerns. This helps to assure that the changes are correctly propagated through the design effort, thus improving the Staff’s confidence in design quality. II. Application Types The type of application under review largely determines the review activities to be conducted and impacts the complexity and scope of the review. NRC regulations provide for the following types of license applications relevant to nuclear power reactors. 1. Construction permits (CPs) as discussed in 10 CFR 50.10(b) and 10 CFR 50.23. An application for a construction permit must be accompanied by a preliminary safety analysis report (PSAR). Construction permit applications may be submitted for construction of a new facility or alteration of an existing facility. 2. Operating license (OL) applications as discussed in 10 CFR 50.21
