arch 2007 through that phase is in compliance with the certified design. The NRC should review, audit, and inspect the work to confirm that the COL applicant or licensee has adequately implemented the commitments of the DAC at these phases. The process may be referred to as a "phased" DAC because it consists of a set of sequential steps or phases that require successful completion. A COL applicant or licensee is not required to certify that each phase is completed sequentially. However, if the staff determines that a DAC was not successfully met, the design process may be required to be repeated to meet the DAC, possibly requiring a change to the as-built system design. B. Initial Test Program (ITP) Refer to SRP Section 14.2. C. Reliability Assurance Program in the design phase Refer to SRP Section 17.4. 8. Interface Requirements This section of Tier 1 specifies interface requirements that should be met by the site-specific portions of a facility that are not within the scope of the certified design. The interface requirements in the DCD define the design attributes and performance characteristics that ensure that the site-specific portion of the design is in conformance with the certified design. The site-specific portions of the design are those portions of the design that are dependent on characteristics of the site, such as the design of the ultimate heat sink. This section of Tier 1 also identifies the scope of the design to be certified by specifying the systems that are completely or partially out of scope of the certified design. Thus, interface requirements are defined for: (a) systems that are entirely outside the scope of the design, and (b) the out-of-scope portions of those systems that are only partially within the scope of the standard design. In some cases, the scope of the standard design requires that the DCD contain information that was supplied by a utility in the past. However, simply because design information may be traditionally
