Has minimum potential for common mode failure with offsite power or the onsite emergency ac power sources;
Is available in a timely manner after the onset of station blackout; and
Has sufficient capacity and reliability for operation of all systems required for coping with station blackout and for the time required to bring and maintain the plant in safe shutdown (non-design basis accident).
Applicant means a person or an entity applying for a license, permit, or other form of Commission permission or approval under this part or part 52 of this chapter.
