Additionally, applicants may consider the template provided in NEI 07-01 as a reference for the development of an EAL scheme for any design using digital instrumentation and control, including licensed power reactors considering upgrading to digital instrumentation and control. The NRC endorsed this guidance in a memorandum to NEI, “U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Review and Endorsement of NEI 07-01, ‘Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels,’” dated August 12, 2009 (Ref. 39). 7.2 NEI 10-05, Revision 0, “Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities,” issued June 2011 The staff found NEI 10-05, Revision 0 (Ref. 40), acceptable for use by licensees and applicants as a methodology to perform a detailed staffing analysis for on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation duties as required by Section IV.A.9 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.
