hat procurement specifications and construction and installation specifications can be completed and made available for audit if the NRC determines that they are required for the Commission’s review in accordance with 10 CFR 52.47(a) (see SRM SECY-90-377 and the Statement of Considerations section published in 72 FR 49352. The intent of 10 CFR Part 52 in providing for the review and approval or certification of standard designs is to resolve safety issues early and to enhance the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants through standardization. With an “essentially complete design” and the early resolution of safety issues, the attributes of a construction permit can possibly be combined with much of those of an operating DG-1325, Page-68 license issued under 10 CFR Part 50. Operation can then be authorized under the COL following an opportunity for a hearing on a more limited set of issues related to whether the acceptance criteria in the COL for the inspections, tests, and analyses are not currently met or will not be met. Applications for a COL under Subpart C of 10 CFR Part 52 may, but need not, incorporate by reference an ESP or DC, or both. The scope of ITAAC development for a COL applicant will differ depending on which of these, if any, it references in the application. The scope of ITAAC at the DC stage is limited to and should be consistent with the SSCs that are in the certified design, and ITAAC for the site-specific design features should be developed at the COL stage. The ITAAC are limited to those design features and requirements that can be verified before fuel load. Therefore, license conditions in the COL should cover items like power ascension testing that are also described in the application. The COL applicant should propose a complete set of ITAAC that addresses the entire facility, including ITAAC on EP and physical security hardware. The type of information and the level of detail included in the ITAAC should be based on a graded
