§ 53.1209 Contents of applications for standard design approvals; technical information.

(a) Major portion of a standard design. If the applicant seeks review of a major portion of a standard design, the application need only contain the information required by this section to the extent the requirements are applicable to the major portion of the standard design for which NRC staff approval is sought. If an applicant seeks approval of a major portion of the design, the scope of the application for which approval is sought must include all functional design criteria necessary to demonstrate compliance with the safety criteria in §§ 53.210, 53.220 and 53.450(e), as applicable, for the major portion of the standard design for which NRC staff approval is sought. Such applicants must identify conditions related to interfaces with systems outside the scope of the major portion of the standard design for which NRC staff approval is sought, and functional or physical boundary conditions between the major portion of the standard design for which NRC staff approval is sought and the remainder of the standard design. These conditions must be demonstrated when the standard design approval is incorporated into a subsequent CP, design certification, ML, or COL application. (b) Final Safety Analysis Report. The application must contain an FSAR that describes the facility and the limits on its operation, presents a safety analysis of the SSCs and of the facility, or major portions thereof, for which the applicant seeks design approval, and must include the following information: (1) Site parameters. The site parameters postulated for the design under this part, including the design-basis external hazard levels for the relevant external hazards, and an analysis and evaluation of the design in terms of those site parameters. (2) Design information. Except as specified in this paragraph (b), an application for a standard design approval for a commercial nuclear plant must include the design information equivalent to that required for a standard design certification under § 53.1239(a)(2) through (27) for those portions of a commercial nuclear plant included in the standard design approval.
