ertified design. The staff will review an application for a COL that does not reference a certified design against the criteria in both sections. A. DESIGN CERTIFICATION APPLICATION A.1 Description of Design Reliability Assurance Program The application should describe the details of the D-RAP that will be implemented during the DC and COL design and construction activities preceding initial fuel load. This description should include a discussion of the scope, purpose, objectives, framework, and phases of the D-RAP. In addition, the application should describe who is responsible for implementing the various phases of the D-RAP. The staff should confirm that the scope, purpose, and objectives of the applicant’s D-RAP are consistent with those described in Subsection I of this SRP section. The staff should use the information provided in Subsection I of this SRP section to facilitate the acceptability determination of the D-RAP description. A.2 Programmatic Controls of Design Reliability Assurance Program The objective of this review is to verify that the applicant has established and applied the appropriate D-RAP programmatic controls to support DC design activities. These programmatic controls are processes that ensure the risk insights and key assumptions from probabilistic, deterministic, and other methods of analysis used to identify and quantify risk are consistent with the plant design. These programmatic controls address organization responsibilities, design control activities, procedures and instructions, records, corrective action and assessment plans, and that the list of RAP SSCs is appropriately developed, maintained, and communicated to the appropriate organizations. The staff 17.4-7 Revision 1 –May 2014 should verify that the application adequately addresses the following programmatic controls of D-RAP. If needed, the staff can perform one or more audits to verify that the applicant appropriately applied these programmatic controls during DC design
