II. Further Information
The Office of New Reactors and Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
are revising these sections from the current versions. In respect of
these revisions, details of specific changes are included in the end of
each of the revised sections themselves and are shown in the
description of changes.
The changes to this Standard Review Plan (SRP) Chapter reflect
current staff review methods and practices based on lessons learned
from NRC reviews of design certification and combined license
applications completed since the last revision of this chapter. Changes
include: (1) Enhancements to guidance to the staff for evaluating the
acceptability of the seismic and civil structural design and analysis
issues, (2) updates to review interfaces to improve the efficiency and
consistency of staff reviews and (3) updates to references covered in
SRP Chapter 3.
The NRC staff is issuing this notice to solicit public comments on
the proposed SRP Sections in Chapter 3. After the NRC staff considers
any public comments, it will make a determination regarding the
proposed SRP Sections in Chapter 3.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of February 2012.
