Content:
view of a COL application, the scope of the review is dependent on whether the COL applicant references a DC, an early site permit or other NRC approvals (e.g., manufacturing license, site suitability report or topical report). Specific Review Guidance The staff’s review focuses on the methods, results and insights of the design-specific or plant- specific PRA and severe accident evaluations. Design-Specific PRA (Specific Areas of Review) 1. The staff reviews the process used by the applicant to develop its design-specific or plant-specific PRA, including supporting or associated analyses (e.g., T-H analyses, human reliability analyses). 2. The staff reviews the applicant’s process for maintaining and upgrading the PRA, as necessary, to ensure that (1) it reasonably reflects the plant design, operation, and experience and (2) its scope, level of detail, and technical adequacy are appropriate for its uses and risk-informed applications. 19.0-22 Draft Revision 3 –November 2014 The staff reviews the applicant’s uses and risk-informed applications (or proposed uses and applications)4 of the PRA for each phase (i.e., design, licensing, construction operations). Specifically, the PRA staff should interface with the primary review branch in the evaluation of licensee programs that use the PRA results and insights (e.g., human factors program, maintenance rule implementation, RAP). Likewise, the PRA staff should interface with the primary review branch in the evaluation of specific risk- informed applications (e.g., 10 CFR 50.69 implementation, risk-informed performance- based fire protection implementation, risk-informed inservice inspection, risk-informed inservice testing). When the applicant enters a new phase, the staff may review any changes to the uses and applications. 4. The staff reviews the description of the applicant’s PRA in Chapter 19 of the FSAR and its associated results and insights, addressing the full scope of information outlined in RG 1.206,
