Content:
urface investigation report, site-specific seismic analysis report, or topical report(s) not previously submitted); and e. other information specifically identified by the NRC or deemed appropriate by the applicant for a complete application and timely NRC review (e.g., a COL applicant’s position on a request for additional information (RAI) issued by the NRC to another COL applicant with the same referenced DC or a COL applicant’s position on a subsequent combined license (S-COL) about commitments by the reference-COL applicant for which guidance is provided in Section C.2.7). Part 11 should not include information designated for inclusion in Parts 1- 10 of the application. In particular, Part 11 should not be used for providing information that is required to be containned in the SAR in Part 2 of the application.

Further, applicants should support preapplication activities, the application acceptance review, and the application detailed technical review. To this end, Section C.2 includes information on selected topics related to the preparation, submittal, acceptance, and review of applications that is intended to (1) facilitate the understanding of NRC requirements and expectations and (2) offer useful guidance to those engaged in the application process. The NRC staff considers the guidance in Section C.2 to generally apply to other types of power reactors. The topics addressed in Section C.2 primarily relate to the regulatory processes identified in 10 CFR Part 52, most of which are independent of reactor technology. For example, guidance on preapplication activities, the preapplication readiness assessment, the acceptance review process, RAIs, environmental issue finality, and the option for a COLA to reference a DC or ESP, or both, applies to
