Content:
procurement, fabrication, and test specifications for SSCs within the scope of the RAP reflect the reliability values assumed in the probabilistic/PRA, deterministic analysis, or other methods. 6. The staff review verified the acceptability of the qualification requirements for members of the expert panel if an expert panel is utilized. 7. A staff review verified the acceptability of the process for providing corrective actions for design and operational errors that degrade non-safety-related SSCs within the scope of the RAP. 8. A staff review verified the acceptability of the integration of reliability assurance activities into existing programs (e.g., maintenance rule, surveillance testing, in- service inspection, in-service testing, and QA) (these programs should be briefly described). 9. A staff review verified the acceptability of the reliability performance goals for SSCs within the scope of the RAP for the operational stage. (Explain how the performance goals were established.) 17.4-11 March 2007 10. A staff review verified the acceptability of the feedback mechanism for periodically evaluating reliability assumptions on the basis of actual equipment, train, or system performance and industry operational experience. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of design certifications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. VI.
