Reactors Oversight
A new construction inspection program (CIP) is being developed
for plants licensed in accordance with the requirements of
10 CFR Part 52.
The introduction of "inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance
criteria" (ITAAC) into the Part 52 licensing process creates a
design specific pre-approved set of performance standards that
the licensee must meet and that the Commission must find have
been met, before the licensee can load fuel and operate the plant.
As a result, a major focus of the CIP is on the licensee work
being performed to support the completion of the ITAAC. However,
additional inspections of quality assurance verification
activities and operational programs will also be needed to
provide assurance that these activities and programs are in
compliance with applicable Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
requirements. The CIP is being developed to address the specific
needs associated with verifying the successful completion of the
ITAAC as well as to incorporate lessons learned from previous
NRC construction inspections.
Additional background documents of interest for revision of the CIP include
the following:
