NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program 14.2 Initial Plant Test Program 14.2.1 Summary of Initial Test Program and Objectives The Initial Test Program (ITP) consists of a series of preoperational and startup tests conducted by the Startup organization. Preoperational testing is conducted for each NuScale Power Module (NPM) following completion of construction testing but before fuel load. Completion of preoperational testing for each NPM is necessary to ensure the NPM is ready for fuel loading and startup testing.
Startup tests of an NPM are performed following the completion of preoperational testing. Startup testing includes the following:
- initial fuel loading and pre-critical testing
- initial criticality testing
- low-power testing
- power-ascension testing Startup testing is performed to confirm the design bases of the NPM and to demonstrate to the extent practicable the NPM operates in accordance with design and is capable of responding to anticipated transients and postulated accidents as described in Section 15.0.
The objectives of the ITP are to
- provide assurance that structures, systems, and components (SSC) operate in accordance with their design.
- provide assurance that construction and installation of equipment in the facility is completed in accordance with the design.
- demonstrate to the extent practicable the validity of analytical models used to predict plant responses to anticipated transients and postulated accidents, and to demonstrate to the extent practicable the correctness and conservatism of assumptions used in those models.
- familiarize the plant operating and technical staff with operation of the facility.
- perform testing to the extent practicable using plant conditions to simulate actual operating, abnormal operating occurrences, and emergency conditions to which the SSC may be subjected.
- verify to the extent practicable by trial use the facility operating procedures, that surveillance procedures and emergency procedures are adequate.
- verify that interfaces and system and component interactions are in accordance with the design.
- complete and document the ITP testing required to satisfy preoperational and startup testing requirements and Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) testing requirements.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program
- wiring continuity and separation checks.
The testing and installation of digital instrumentation and controls (I&C) systems are described in Section 7.2.1, and includes factory acceptance testing and site acceptance testing (SAT) completed as part of construction and installation tests performed before, and as a prerequisite of, preoperational tests. Factory acceptance tests are performed during the digital I&C system testing phase described in Section 7.2.1. Site installation and checkout activities are performed as part of the integrated SAT during the system installation phase as described in Section 7.2.1. Software integration and testing is governed by the Digital I&C Software Master Test Plan described in Section 7.2.1.
14.2.1.2 Preoperational Test Phase Objectives Preoperational tests are performed to demonstrate that SSC operate in accordance with design requirements so initial fuel loading, initial criticality, and subsequent power operation can be safely undertaken. The objectives of the preoperational test phase
- demonstrate SSC perform their functions in accordance with their design during the preoperational test phase.
- verify and demonstrate expected operation following a loss of power sources and in degraded modes for which the systems are designed to remain operational.
- test the backup power supply system (BPSS) to ensure backup sources of alternating current (AC) electrical power are available when the normal AC power sources are not available.
- verify and demonstrate the operational readiness of valves and dynamic restraints before relying on those components to perform their safety functions.
- perform inspections or testing for flow-induced vibration loads on components that must maintain their structural integrity.
- obtain baseline test and operating data on equipment and systems for future reference.
- operate equipment for a sufficient period of time to achieve normal equilibrium conditions (e.g., temperatures and pressures) so design, manufacturing, and installation defects can be detected and corrected.
- ensure to the extent practicable plant systems operate properly on an integrated basis.
- evaluate normal, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures to the extent practicable.

- demonstrate equipment performance is satisfactory to proceed to initial fuel loading and initial criticality.
Test abstracts associated with preoperational testing are included in Section 14.2.12.
14.2.1.3 Startup Test Phase Objectives 14.2.1.3.1 Initial Fuel Loading and Pre-Critical Tests This phase of testing is performed in order to ensure initial fuel loading of an NPM can be accomplished in an orderly and safe manner. A description of the fuel loading process is presented Section 14.2.10. The objectives of the initial fuel loading and pre-critical tests are the following:
- conduct initial fuel loading cautiously to preclude inadvertent criticality
- establish and follow specific safety measures, such as ensuring the applicable TS requirements and other prerequisites are satisfied.
continuous monitoring of the neutron flux throughout core loading so changes in the multiplication factor are observed.
verifying fuel and control components are properly installed.
- establish the required shutdown margin exists, without achieving criticality
- establish the functionality of plant systems and components, including reactivity control systems and other systems and components necessary to ensure the safety of plant personnel and the public in the event of errors or malfunctions
- confirm the proper operation of plant systems and design features that could not be completely tested during preoperational testing
- confirm interdependent effects among the safety features of the design are acceptable NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-4 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program 14.2.1.3.2 Initial Criticality The objectives associated with the initial criticality phase of the startup testing program are to achieve initial criticality in a safe and controlled manner as follows. In order to meet this objective, the following are performed.
- The initial approach to criticality is performed in a deliberate and orderly manner using the same rod withdrawal sequences and patterns used during subsequent startups.
- The neutron flux levels are continuously monitored and periodically evaluated. A neutron count rate of at least 1/2 counts per second is registered on the startup channels before startup begins, and the signal to noise ratio is known to be greater than 2.
- The systems required for startup or protection of the plant, including the reactor protection system and engineered safety features (ESFs), are operable and in a state of readiness.
- The control rod or poison removal sequence is accomplished using approved plant procedures.
- The reactor achieves initial criticality by boron dilution. Control rods are withdrawn before dilution begins.
- The control rod insertion limits defined in the TS are observed and followed.
- Criticality predictions for boron concentration and control rod positions are provided.
- The reactivity addition sequence is prescribed, and plant procedures require a cautious approach to achieving criticality to prevent passing through criticality in a period shorter than approximately 30 seconds
(<1 decade per minute).
A description of the process followed to achieve initial criticality is provided in Section 14.2.10.
14.2.1.3.3 Low-Power Testing Following criticality, low-power testing is performed. The objectives associated with performing low-power testing
- confirm the design and validate analytical models.
- verify the correctness of assumptions used in the safety analyses.
- confirm the functionality of plant systems and design features that could not be completely tested during the preoperational test phase because of the lack of an adequate heat source for the reactor coolant and main steam system (MSS).
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-5 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program 14.2.1.3.4 Power-Ascension Testing Following low-power testing, power-ascension testing is performed.
Power-ascension testing is performed to bring the reactor to full power with testing at power levels of approximately 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent. The objectives associated with performing power-ascension testing are to
- achieve reactor full power in a safe and controlled manner.
- demonstrate the plant operates in accordance with its design bases during normal steady-state conditions and, to the extent practicable, during and following anticipated transients.
- validate models used to predict plant response.
- demonstrate the ability of major or principal plant control systems to automatically control process variables within design limits.
- demonstrate the facility's integrated dynamic response is in accordance with design for plant events such as reactor scram, turbine trip, and loss of feedwater heaters (FWHs) or pumps.
14.2.2 Organization and Staffing COL Item 14.2-1: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will describe the site-specific organizations that manage, supervise, or execute the Initial Test Program, including the associated training requirements.
14.2.3 Test Procedures 14.2.3.1 Initial Test Program Procedures Test procedures are developed and reviewed by individuals with the appropriate technical background and expertise. After the test procedures are developed, they are reviewed by plant management personnel who upon acceptance designate the procedures as final.
Input from the principal design organization is utilized to establish the test objectives and acceptance criteria for the system. Operating experience, as discussed in Section 14.2.8, is used in the development of test procedures.
Test procedure testing and acceptance criteria are founded upon the information contained in design specifications, design documents, the FSAR, and regulatory documents. A test procedure is prepared for each specific system test to be performed during the test program.
Preoperational and startup testing procedures include checklists and signature blocks to control the sequence and performance of testing. The administrative controls associated with test procedure development address the following:
- test procedure format NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-6 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program
- application, to the extent practicable, of normal plant operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and surveillance procedures in support of test procedure development
- test procedure review and approval
- test procedure change and revision The content of each test procedure addresses
- objectives.
- detailed step-by-step procedures specifying how testing is to be performed.
- special precautions.
- test instrumentation.
- test equipment calibration.
- initial test conditions, including provisions to perform testing under environmental conditions as close as practicable to those the equipment experiences in both normal and accident situations.
- methods to direct and control test performance.
- acceptance criteria by which testing is evaluated. Acceptance criteria account for measurement errors and uncertainties associated with normal operation as well as operation during transients and accidents. Acceptance criteria are biased conservatively. In some cases the acceptance criteria are qualitative.
Where applicable, quantitative values, with appropriate tolerances, are used as acceptance criteria.
- test prerequisites including as necessary prerequisite statements to ensure that nonstandard arrangements are restored to their normal status after the test is completed (e.g., electric jumper cable use does not invalidate electrical separation; jumper cables are removed following testing; valve configurations and instrument settings are returned to their normal orientations and settings).
- identification of the data to be collected and the method of documentation.
- actions to take if unanticipated errors or malfunctions occur while testing.
- remedial actions to take if acceptance criteria are not satisfied.
- actions to take if an unexpected or unanalyzed condition occurs.
14.2.3.2 Graded Approach to Testing The ITP allows for the application of a graded approach to testing. The graded approach to testing is founded in the requirements of General Design Criterion 1, Quality Standards and Records, of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 that requires, in part, SSC be tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. Criterion XI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 also includes a graded approach for SSC in the Quality Assurance Program. The administrative requirements that govern the conduct of the test program (e.g., test program objectives, organizational elements, personnel qualifications, evaluation and approval of test results, and test records retention) contain provisions that NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-7 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program allow for testing of SSC in a manner commensurate with the safety significance of the SSC within its scope. These provisions provide a systematic approach to the defense-in-depth concept. This concept dictates the plant be designed, constructed, and tested to
- provide for safe normal operation,
- ensure, in the event of errors, malfunctions, and off-normal conditions, the reactor protection systems and other design features mitigate the event or limit consequences to defined and acceptable levels, and
- ensure adequate safety margin exists for events of extremely low probability or arbitrarily postulated hypothetical events without substantial reduction in the safety margin for the protection of public health and safety.
Application of the graded approach to testing provides reasonable assurance the SSC being tested perform satisfactorily while accomplishing the testing in a cost-effective manner. The administrative requirements that govern the conduct of the test program allow for the preparation of documentation (i.e., procedures and records) associated with testing to be prepared commensurate with the safety significance of the SSC being tested.
During the SSC classification process, the subject matter expert identifies functions of the system. Each of these functions is compared to safety functional requirements and regulatory functional requirements to establish a functional hierarchy. This hierarchy establishes a relationship among the systems and ties it to a set of plant functions as described in Section 17.4 to identify a classification for the functions. The functions are categorized as A1 (safety-related, risk-significant), A2 (safety-related, not risk-significant), B1 (nonsafety-related, risk-significant), or B2 (nonsafety-related, not risk-significant). This safety significance evaluation is the basis for the graded approach in the ITP.
The hierarchy in preoperational testing is
- testing of active, safety-related system functions (A1 or A2 functions).
- testing of active, nonsafety-related functions that require ITAAC verification (B1 and B2).
- testing of active nonsafety-related functions that do not require ITAAC verification (B1 and B2).
The preoperational test abstracts contained in Table 14.2-1 through Table 14.2-62 define the test scope for each system by listing the associated active system functions and their safety categorization. The test abstract also provides system functions tested by another test abstract, thereby providing an "inventory" of all testable system functions.
Table 17.4-1 contains a list of A1 and B1 system functions. Active, safety-related A1 functions are tested by the safety-related module protection system (MPS) logic testing found in Table 14.2-56. The remaining safety-related functions categorized as A2 are also tested by the MPS test abstract. The graded approach provides for testing of A2 functions to the same rigor as A1 functions.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-8 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program As indicated by Table 14.2-56, active, safety-related functions are one of the following types:
- provides safety-related instrument information signals to MPS
- removes electrical power to the control rod drive
- removes electrical power to the pressurizer (PZR) heaters
- removes electrical power to the trip solenoids of safety-related valves
- closes safety-related valves The MPS test abstract also describes testing of the safety-related containment isolation valve (CIV) response time and MPS safety-related sensor response time.
Section 14.3 provides guidance regarding the development of ITAAC. The successful completion of ITAAC constitutes the basis for the NRC determination to allow operation of a facility licensed under 10 CFR 52. The ITAAC are verified by an inspection, test, or analysis, or a combination thereof. Some ITAAC are verified by successful completion of preoperational testing.
Each ITAAC is identified by its unique ITAAC number, for example, ITAAC 03.01.02. If an ITAAC is verified by the successful completion of a preoperational test, the acceptance criteria of the associated test in Section 14.2 contain a bracketed reference to the verified ITAAC. An example annotation is
[ITAAC 03.01.02] in Table 14.2-15 where 03.01.02 is the number of the verified ITAAC.
Credit is taken for the logic testing performed for the nonsafety-related module control system (MCS) described in Section 7.2.1, and the nonsafety-related plant control system (PCS) described in Section 7.2.1. Therefore, if the component is controlled by MCS or PCS, the component-level logic testing in the preoperational test is limited to the testing of component-level design features described below (if the design feature is applicable to the system) unless the preoperational test verifies an ITAAC. The component tests are standardized to provide the same level of test detail across systems. This graded approach does not affect system-level tests that require integrated system operation. The standardized component tests are:
- remote operation of equipment
- manual control of variable-speed pump or fan
- automatic start of standby pump or fan
- automatic operation of pump recirculation valve
- pump start does not create a water hammer
- remote operation of valve or damper
- valve or damper fails to its safe position on loss of air
- valve or damper fails to its safe position on loss of electrical power to its solenoid
- damper or fan responds to fire or smoke alarm
- equipment response to automatic signals to protect plant equipment NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-9 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program
- automatic operation of tank or basin level control valve
- local grab sample can be obtained from a system grab sample device
- automatic bus transfer via bus tie breaker
- system instrument calibration
- each instrument can be monitored in the MCR (test not required if the instrument calibration verified the MCR display) 14.2.3.3 Testing of First-of-a-Kind Design Features First-of-a-kind (FOAK) tests are new, unique, or special tests to verify design features reviewed for the first time by the NRC. The NuScale Power Plant contains design features that are new and unique and not tested previously; therefore, testing of these design features is treated as FOAK. For the FOAK tests, the testing frequency is specified in the test abstract. The Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program (CVAP) is an FOAK program. The program is implemented consistent with the requirements of the NuScale Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program Technical Report," TR-121353-P, and the NuScale Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program Measurement and Inspection Plan Technical Report, TR-121354-P. The CVAP is addressed in Section 3.9.2.
The following ITP test abstracts describe the on-site CVAP testing of FOAK design features:
- Table 14.2-65: Steam Generator Flow-Induced Vibration Test #65
- Table 14.2-102: NuScale Power Module Vibration Test #102 The test results for the CVAP testing of the first NPM inform the required CVAP testing on subsequent NPMs as described in TR-121353-P. Other ITP testing of FOAK design features is performed for each NPM, except as described below.
Table 14.2-40: Emergency Core Cooling System Test #40 includes a one-time in-situ system performance test of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS).
The test demonstrates valve and containment response to manual emergency safety feature actuation of the ECCS at hot functional test pressure and temperature.
Section 5.4.3 contains a description of the decay heat removal system (DHRS) one-time in-situ RCS heat removal test. The test is performed per test abstract Table 14.2-41: Decay Heat Removal System Test # 41.
Table 14.2-104 provides a summary of the ITP testing (i.e., preoperational and startup testing) for new design features. Each test is performed for all NPMs.
Section 1.5.1 contains a description of testing programs that have been completed or are currently in progress for design features for which applicable data or operational experience did not previously exist. The section describes NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-10 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program tests specific to fuel design, steam generator (SG), and control rod assemblies (CRAs).
14.2.3.4 Generic Component Testing Component testing is generally executed after a system transfers from the construction organization to the startup organization. Generic component testing executes standardized tests for a family of related component types, independent of the components system assignment. Each generic component test procedure is completed and approved before the component is required as a prerequisite to a preoperational test performance. The completion of generic component testing is listed as a prerequisite in each preoperational test procedure as applicable.
14.2.4 Conduct of the Test Program The ITP activities are controlled by administrative procedures contained within the Startup Administrative Manual.
COL Item 14.2-2: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will develop the Startup Administration Manual that will contain the administrative procedures and requirements that control the activities associated with the Initial Test Program. The applicant will provide a milestone for completing the Startup Administrative Manual and making it available for Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspection.
Administrative controls are established to ensure designated construction-related inspections and tests are completed before initiating preoperational testing. In addition, controls are established to ensure completion of preoperational testing before initiating startup testing. Administrative controls address adherence to approved test procedures during the conduct of the test program and the methods for effecting changes to approved test procedures.
The controls used to ensure test prerequisites associated with each major phase of testing, as well as individual system or component testing are met, include requirements for performing inspections and checks, identification of test personnel, completing data forms or check sheets, and identification of dates of completion.
The controls provided to implement plant modification and repairs ensure that the required modifications and repairs are made. Retesting is conducted following modifications or repairs. Reviews of proposed facility modifications by designated design organizations are conducted before performing the modification or repair.
Controls are established to ensure retesting required for modifications or maintenance remains in compliance with ITAAC commitments.
The documentation associated with the conduct of the test plan is captured and auditable.

14.2.9 Trial Use of Plant Operating Procedures, Emergency Procedures, and Surveillance Procedures Plant emergency, operating, and surveillance test procedures are, to the extent practicable, developed, trial tested, and corrected during the ITP before fuel load to establish their adequacy. Trial testing of procedures is accomplished by training plant operators to these procedures to the extent practicable during the ITP. Following completion of trial testing these procedures are used as part of the ITP.
The administrative procedures control the trial use of approved plant operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and surveillance procedures.
14.2.10 Initial Fuel Loading, and Initial Criticality Approved startup tests control startup testing for initial fuel loading, pre-critical tests, initial criticality, low-power tests, and power-ascension tests in a controlled, deliberate, and safe manner. Technical specification compliance is met before initiation of startup testing. Startup test procedures are prepared based upon test abstracts provided in Section 14.2.12.
Startup tests procedures contain general provisions, precautions, prerequisites, and measures consistent with the requirements of RG 1.68.
14.2.10.1 Initial Fuel Loading and Pre-Criticality Testing As part of the startup test program, initial fuel loading and pre-criticality testing is performed by first implementing the prerequisite and precautionary measures contained in test procedures and identified below:
- TS compliance is met
- successful completion of all ITAAC NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-14 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program
- identification of actions to be taken in the event of unanticipated errors or malfunctions
- completion of a review of preoperational test results (The Startup Administrative Manual contains administrative procedures to control the verification process for successful completion of preoperational tests required for fuel load.)
- review and status of design changes
- review of retests performed because of preoperational test deficiencies
- review of test exceptions 14.2.10.2 Initial Fuel Loading Initial fuel loading is conducted to preclude inadvertent criticality. Specific safety measures are followed including
- ensuring applicable TS are met,
- performing continuous monitoring of the neutron flux throughout core loading so changes in the multiplication factor are observed,
- establishing requirements for periodic data taking, and
- independently verifying fuel and control components are properly installed.
Predictions of core reactivity are prepared in advance of the initial fuel loading to aid in evaluating the measured responses to specified loading increments.
Comparative data on neutron detector responses from previous loadings of essentially identical core designs may be used in lieu of these predictions. Criteria and requirements for actions to be taken if the measured results deviate from expected values are established before the initial fuel loading. In addition, before initial fuel loading the required shutdown margin is confirmed.
To provide further assurance of safe loading, requirements for the functionality of plant systems and components are established, including reactivity control systems and other systems and components necessary to ensure the safety of plant personnel and the public in the event of errors or malfunctions. The initial core loading is directly supervised by a senior licensed operator having no other concurrent duties, and the loading operation is conducted in strict accordance with detailed approved procedures.
14.2.10.3 Initial Criticality Testing Control rods are withdrawn in the normal sequence to a configuration that does not violate the zero power rod insertion limits. Initial criticality is achieved in a deliberate, orderly, and controlled fashion using boron dilution. Core neutron flux is continuously monitored during the approach to critical. Changes in reactivity are continuously monitored, and inverse multiplication plots are maintained and interpreted.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-15 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program The following conditions exist before initial criticality.
- A minimum crew is required to support initial criticality, including a senior reactor operator with no other concurrent duties who is in charge of the operation.
- Critical rod position and boron concentration predictions are identified so anomalies can be noted and evaluated.
- Systems needed for startup are aligned and in proper operation.
- Emergency systems are operable and in readiness.
- TS compliance is met.
- Nuclear instruments are calibrated.
- Neutron count rate of at least 1/2 counts per second registers on startup channels before the startup begins.
- Signal to noise ratio is greater than two.
- Conservative startup rate limit (greater than approximately a 30-second period) is established.
- High flux trips are set at the lowest value.
- The Radiation Monitoring Program as it pertains to operation of radiation barriers, airborne radiation monitors, and air sampling is implemented.
Baseline surveys are performed before withdrawing control rods for the approach to critical.
14.2.10.4 Low-Power Testing Following initial criticality, low-power tests (at less than 5 percent power) are conducted to confirm the design, validate the analytical models to the extent practicable, and verify the correctness or conservatism of assumptions used in the safety analyses for the facility. Low-power tests are also used to confirm the functionality of plant systems and design features not completely tested during the preoperational test phase because of the lack of an adequate heat source from the RCS and MSS.
Low-power testing is performed in a controlled manner in accordance with written procedures. The minimum crew required to support low-power testing is available in addition to a senior reactor operator with no other concurrent duties who is in charge of low-power testing operations. Low-power testing procedures include instructions and precautions necessary for conducting tests, such as adherence to TS requirements, testing sequence, measurements to be taken, and test conditions as well as actions to be taken in the event of unanticipated errors or malfunctions. These procedures provide direction for restoration to normal following the test.
Section 14.2.12 contains a list of low-power tests.

14.2.10.5 Power-Ascension Tests Power-ascension testing is performed following the successful completion of low-power testing. Power-ascension testing is performed to bring the reactor to full power and while doing so performing major testing at power levels of approximately 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent. The purpose of the testing is to demonstrate the plant operates in accordance with its design bases during normal steady state conditions and, to the extent practicable, during and following anticipated transients. Testing is also intended to demonstrate the validity of analytical models by comparing measured responses with predicted responses. Predicted responses are developed using real or expected values of attributes such as beginning of life core reactivity coefficients, flow rates, pressures, temperatures, and response times of equipment, as well as the actual status of the plant (not those values or plant conditions assumed for conservative evaluations of postulated accidents).
Tests and acceptance criteria are prescribed to demonstrate the ability of control systems to automatically control process variables within design limits. Such tests are expected to provide assurance that the facility's integrated dynamic response is in accordance with the design for plant events such as reactor trip, turbine trip, and loss of FWHs or pumps. The testing performed is sufficiently comprehensive to establish the facility can operate in the operating modes for which it is designed. Testing is conducted in operating modes or plant configurations analyzed, and are bounded by the range of assumptions used in analyzing postulated accidents as described in the FSAR.
Power-ascension testing is performed in a controlled manner in accordance with written procedures. The minimum crew required to support power-ascension testing is available in addition to a senior reactor operator with no other concurrent duties who is in charge of power-ascension testing operations. Power-ascension testing procedures include instructions and precautions necessary for conducting tests such as adherence to TS requirements, testing sequence, measurements taken and test conditions as well as actions taken in the event of unanticipated errors or malfunctions. These procedures provide direction for restoration to normal following the test.
Section 14.2.12 contains a list of power-ascension tests.
The completed power-ascension testing program is reviewed at each plateau.
Test results are evaluated and the required approvals are received before ascending to the next power level or test condition.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-17 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program 14.2.11 Test Program Schedule and Sequence Testing schedules are developed taking into account development and approval of plant procedures for use as part of the ITP.
Testing schedules are developed so SSC required to prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents are tested before fuel loading.
Approved test procedures are available for NRC review approximately 60 days before their intended use or at least 60 days before fuel loading for fuel loading and startup test procedures. The NRC is notified of test procedure changes before performance.
Test procedures are essentially identical for each NPM. Structures, systems, and components identification numbering is specific to each NPM.
For individual startup tests, test requirements are completed in accordance with plant TS requirements associated with SSC functionalities before changing plant modes.
Testing required to be completed before fuel load intended to satisfy the requirements for completing ITAAC is identified and documented as such.
Vibration testing is performed in accordance with the CVAP as described in the "NuScale Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program Technical Report,"
TR-121353-P. Test results are verified following power-ascension testing.
Section 3.9.2 contains information pertaining to the CVAP.
The sequential schedule for individual startup tests establishes that, insofar as practicable, test requirements are completed before exceeding 25 percent power for the plant SSC relied upon to prevent, limit, or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents. The schedule establishes, insofar as practicable, the sequencing of testing is accomplished as early in the test program as feasible and the safety of the plant is not dependent on the performance of untested systems, components, or features. Startup test data are reviewed and approved before moving onto the next power plateau. Startup testing is discussed in Section 14.2.1.
The plant is comprised of up to six NPMs. A schedule is developed for startup of each NPM. Preoperational and startup testing schedule considerations include
- preoperational test schedule duration is the longest for the first NPM because the first NPM requires testing of systems common to other NPMs.
- preoperational and startup test schedule duration should decrease for each successive NPM because of increase in personnel experience and refinement of test procedures.
- scheduling such that overlapping test program schedules do not result in significant divisions of responsibilities or dilute staff provided to implement the test program.
- plant safety must not be dependent on the performance of untested SSC during the startup test program.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.2-18 Revision 0

COL Item 14.2-4: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will provide a schedule for the Initial Test Program.
14.2.12 Individual Test Descriptions Individual test abstracts are provided in Table 14.2-1 through Table 14.2-102.
Table 14.2-103 provides a list of the test abstracts. Each abstract identifies each test by title, and identifies test objectives, prerequisites, test methods, and acceptance criteria. Detailed preoperational and startup test procedures are developed using these test abstracts.
The test abstracts identify pertinent precautions for individual tests, as necessary (e.g., minimum flow requirements or reactor power level that must be maintained).

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program Table 14.2-54: Test # 54 Module Control System Preoperational test is required to be performed as indicated by tests for MCS-controlled systems and systems providing data to the MCS.
The MCS is described in Section 7.0.4.
On-site testing of the system is performed by module control system SAT.
The MCS is a distributed control system that allows monitoring and control of NPM-specific plant components. The MCS includes all manual controls and visual display units necessary to provide operator interaction with the process control mechanism.
The boundary of the MCS is at the terminations on the MCS hardware. The MCS supplies nonsafety inputs to the human-system interfaces for nonsafety displays in the MCR and other locations where MCS human-system interfaces are necessary. There are two boundaries between MCS and MPS, the fiber-optic isolated portion and the hard-wired module boundary. The MCS has a direct, bi-directional interface with the PCS.
A complete staging and testing of system hardware and software configurations is conducted. This FAT is conducted in accordance with a written test procedure for testing the software and hardware of the MCS before installation in the plant. Following installation, SAT must be completed in accordance with developed procedures to ensure the MCS is installed and fully functional as designed.
To ensure the MCS communicates with module-specific plant components, component-level testing is performed on all systems controlled by MCS to manually operate the associated components from the MCR. These component-level tests are described in the test abstracts of the systems that contain the actuated components.
In addition, it is verified that each instrument supplying data to the MCS is component tested in preoperational test abstracts to ensure the signal is available on an MCS or PCS display. These component-level tests are described in the test abstracts of the systems that contain the instrument.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program Table 14.2-55: Test # 55 Plant Control System Preoperational test is required to be performed as indicated by tests for PCS-controlled systems and systems providing data to the PCS.
The PCS is described in Section 7.0.4.
On-site testing of the system is performed by PCS SAT.
The PCS is a distributed control system that allows monitoring and control of virtually all module-specific plant components. The PCS includes all manual controls and video display units (VDUs) necessary to provide operator interaction with the process control mechanism.
The boundary of the PCS is at the terminations on the PCS hardware. The PCS supplies nonsafety inputs to the VDUs for nonsafety displays in the MCR, and other locations where PCS video display units are necessary. The boundary between the PPS and PCS is at the output connection of the safety-related optical isolators in the PPS, and on the terminals of the equipment interface module for each input from the PCS to the PPS.
The PCS has a direct, bi-directional interface with the MCS. The network interface devices for the PCS domain controller and historian provide the interface between the human machine interface network layer and the control network layer.
A complete staging and testing of system hardware and software configurations is conducted. This FAT is conducted in accordance with a written test procedure for testing the software and hardware of the PCS before installation in the plant. Following installation, SAT must be completed in accordance with developed procedures to ensure the PCS is installed and fully functional as designed.
To ensure the PCS communicates with module-specific plant components, component-level testing is performed on all systems controlled by PCS to manually operate the associated components from the MCR. These component-level tests are described in the test abstracts of the systems that contain the actuated components.
In addition, it is verified that each instrument supplying data to the PCS is component tested in preoperational test abstracts to ensure the signal is available on an MCS or PCS display. These component-level tests are described in the test abstracts of the systems that contain the instrument.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Initial Plant Test Program Table 14.2-102: Test # 102 NuScale Power Module Vibration This startup test is required to be performed once for the first NPM to be tested. This test supports FOAK testing described in Section 14.2.3.3.
This test is performed during the load ramp from zero to 100 percent power and at 100 percent reactor thermal power. The NPM vibration testing is described in Section 3.9.2; and NuScale Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program Measurement and Inspection Plan Technical Report, TR-121354-P. This test is coordinated with Test 94.03.01 and Test 98.03.01.
Test Objective for the first NPM to be tested
- 1. Perform vibration testing of CNTS main steam line branch connections, including DHRS steam piping, and MS drain valve branches during the load ramp up to and at 100 percent reactor thermal power to verify vibration amplitudes in the piping regions confirm there is no acoustic resonance (AR) response.
- 2. Perform vibration monitoring of the NPM using the signals from dynamic pressure sensors. More details regarding the instrumentation locations and vibration mechanisms being monitored are provided in Section 6.0 of TR-121354-P. Vibration monitoring must be performed during the load ramp up to and at 100 percent reactor thermal power and during a test of DHRS actuation, which are coordinated with Test 98.03.01.
102.00.XX Prerequisites
- 01. The DHRS steam piping and MS drain valve branches are instrumented to obtain AR data.
- 02. The NPM is instrumented in accordance with Section 6.0 of TR-121354-P to provide vibration monitoring.
102.03.01 Test Method
- 1. Perform load ramp up to 100 percent power, then operate the NPM for a sufficient duration at 100 percent power to ensure one million vibration cycles for the component with the lowest structural natural frequency.
- 2. Monitor the vibration of the CNTS steam piping branches, including the DHRS steam lines and MS drain valve branches. Also monitor the signals of the dynamic pressure sensors. If an unacceptable vibration response develops at any time during initial startup testing, the test conditions must be adjusted to stop the vibration and the reason for the vibration anomaly are investigated before continuing with the testing.
Acceptance Criteria
- 1. Measured vibration amplitudes in the CNTS steam piping branches confirm there is no acoustic resonance concern.
- 2. Measured vibration responses in the NPM confirm there are no resonant peaks that could indicate a strongly-coupled flow induced vibration mechanism.

NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria 14.3 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria 14.3.1 Introduction This section provides guidance regarding the development of Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC). The scope of ITAAC is sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the ITAAC are successfully completed, the facility has been constructed and can be operated in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act, relevant Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations, and the plant license. The successful completion of ITAAC constitutes the basis for the NRC determination to allow operation of a facility certified under 10 CFR 52, and the ITAAC material expires at initial fuel loading.
The ITAAC are used to verify selected as-built top-level design features. A design feature is a physical attribute or performance characteristic of structures, systems, and components (SSC). Not all top-level design features are verified by ITAAC. Only the design features in the design commitments are verified by ITAAC.
The sections below describe the criteria and methods by which specific top-level design features were identified and selected to be verified by ITAAC. The contents of the design commitments may not directly correspond to these guidelines in all cases because special considerations may warrant a different approach. In this regard, a case-by-case determination is made consistent with the principles inherent in 10 CFR 52 as well as NRC guidance regarding the content of ITAAC.
COL Item 14.3-1: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will provide the site-specific selection methodology and inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria for emergency planning.
COL Item 14.3-2: An applicant that references the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design will provide the site-specific selection methodology and inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria for structures, systems, and components within their scope.
14.3.2 Top-Level Design Features and Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria First Principles General criteria that provide clarity on the scope of top-level design features and ITAAC are discussed below. These criteria are consolidated and grouped into two sets: (1) top-level design features scope first principles and (2) ITAAC scope first principles.
A first principles approach is considered such that the ITAAC are "necessary and sufficient." Thus, in order to determine the appropriate scope of ITAAC, it is important to apply both the first principles for determining the top-level design features and the first principles for determining whether a design feature needs an ITAAC. Consistent with these first principles, the selection of the top-level design features is based on the safety significance of SSC, their importance in various safety analyses, and their functions for defense-in-depth considerations.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-1 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria The first principles for determining the scope of top-level design features and ITAAC are described in Section 14.3.2.1 and Section 14.3.2.2.
14.3.2.1 Top-Level Design Features Scope First Principles Top-level design features are limited to the following:
- design features of safety-related SSC
- design features of safety-related or nonsafety-related SSC that protect safety-related components
- design features of security system physical SSC
- design features of risk-significant, nonsafety-related SSC determined by results of a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA)
Refer to Section 14.3.2.1.1 for further discussion of this principle. Furthermore, top-level design features are limited to include the following:
- Not all safety-related design features are top-level design features. Refer to Section 14.3.2.1.3 for further discussion.
- Not all design features contained in the accident analyses are top-level design features. Refer to Section 14.3.2.1.4 for further discussion.
- Operational programs and post-fuel load testing are not design features. Refer to Section 14.3.2.1.5 for further discussion.
- Some risk-significant design features identified by the PRA do not need to be specifically addressed because they are indirectly addressed by design features that are addressed by other design commitments. Refer to Section 14.3.2.1.6 for further discussion.
- To the extent that SSC are already the subject of a design commitment by reason of a design basis accident mitigation function design feature, a design commitment does not need to address the function of the SSC to mitigate severe accidents. Other design features that are not specifically installed for severe accident mitigation, but are used for severe accident mitigation do not need to be addressed. Refer to Section 14.3.2.1.7 for further discussion.
- Only fixed design features that are installed before fuel loading and that are expected to be in place for the lifetime of the plant are considered for inclusion as top-level design features. Refer to Section 14.3.2.1.8 for further discussion.
- Design features of systems with no safety significance are not considered for inclusion.
14.3.2.1.1 Characteristics of Top-Level Design Features The following describes the top-level design features for the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-2 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria A design feature is either a physical attribute or a performance characteristic of SSC. The top-level design features contained in the ITAAC are associated with the
- reactor coolant pressure boundary.
- containment pressure boundary.
- Portions of the Seismic Category I Reactor Building and Control Building.
- Radioactive Waste Category RW-IIa Radioactive Waste Building.
- safety-related equipment qualification.
- nonsafety-related equipment qualification of SSC located within the boundaries of the NuScale Power Module (NPM) that have augmented Seismic Category I or environmental qualification requirements.
- nonsafety-related equipment qualification of SSC that have augmented Seismic Category I or environmental qualification requirements and provide one of the following functions:
provides physical support of irradiated fuel provides a path for makeup water to the ultimate heat sink provides containment of the ultimate heat sink water provides monitoring of ultimate heat sink water level
- nonsafety-related equipment qualification of SSC classified as RW-IIa used for processing gaseous radioactive waste.
- safety-related component performance.
- SSC providing protection of safety-related components.
- nonsafety-related SSC that perform a credited function in Chapter 15 analyses.
- safety-related protection systems (reactor trip and engineered safety features actuation systems).
- components providing radiation protection for personnel and safety-related equipment.
- new and spent fuel storage.
- security system physical components.
Examples of physical attributes included in top-level design features are safety-related equipment qualification, location of fire barriers, and attenuation capabilities of radiation shields.
Examples of performance characteristics included in top-level design features are building seismic performance, safety-related piping conformance to American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Section III requirements, NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-3 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria valve stroke time, and safety-related components' automatic response to the module protection system.
14.3.2.1.2 Severe Accident Design Features The ITAAC are used to verify that the severe accident top-level design features exist. In general, the capabilities of the design features need not be included in the ITAAC. For example, a design commitment may discuss that a severe accident containment flooding system exists, while the acceptance criteria would discuss that the severe accident containment flooding system exists but would not specify the capabilities of associated pumps.
14.3.2.1.3 Safety-Related Design Features Not all safety-related design features are considered top-level design features and do not need to be explicitly addressed. Examples of safety-related component design features that generally do not warrant inclusion are listed below:
- instrument lines
- fill lines
- drains
- American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Section III valves that have only a passive function
- piping pressure relief valves associated with thermal expansion and anticipated valve leakage
- interlocks aimed specifically at equipment protection for safety-related components
- local controls for safety-related components
- rebar and concrete properties for Seismic Category I structures 14.3.2.1.4 Top-Level Design Features Verified by Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria Only the top-level design features are verified by ITAAC. Each ITAAC section includes a table that correlates the top-level design features contained in design commitments with the results of the following plant safety analyses:
- transient and accident analyses
- internal and external hazards analyses
- radiological analyses
- risk-significant design features as determined by the results of a PRA
- design features necessary or important to severe accident mitigation
- fire protection
- physical security NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-4 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria By capturing the top level design features that are based upon results of plant safety analyses, the integrity of the fundamental analyses associated with the design as presented in the FSAR are preserved in ITAAC.
14.3.2.1.5 Operational Programs and Post-Fuel Load Testing Those aspects of the design that pertain to programs rather than the as-built plant (e.g., Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 requires a quality assurance program, and 10 CFR 50.65 requires a maintenance rule program) are not design features and are therefore not included in the ITAAC.
Those aspects of the design that cannot be verified until after fuel loading are not included in ITAAC because 10 CFR 52 requires the ITAAC to be satisfied before fuel loading. For these, the Initial Test Program verifies aspects of the design after fuel load, but before operation. Examples include startup and power ascension test program verifications of fuel, control rod, and core characteristics, as well as system and integrated plant operating characteristics. The treatment of these issues is similar to their treatment at facilities licensed under 10 CFR 50, in that verification of the satisfactory completion of these requirements is a condition of the license.
14.3.2.1.6 Risk-Significant Design Features Some risk-significant design features identified by the PRA do not need to be specifically addressed because they are indirectly addressed by design features that are addressed by other design commitments. For example, some PRA studies are dependent upon an assessment of the ability of certain SSC to function during seismic events that are more severe than the design basis safe shutdown earthquake. If equipment is designed and qualified for the seismic design basis, the design process is such that the added capability assumed in the PRA is inherently present.
The risk-significant design features that are included in the design commitments and have associated ITAAC are identified.
14.3.2.1.7 Design Features Necessary or Important to Severe Accident Mitigation There are some SSC that mitigate design basis accidents and provide an important success path for severe accident mitigation. The severe accident mitigation design features that are included in the design commitments and have associated ITAAC are identified.
14.3.2.1.8 Fixed Design Features Installed Before Fuel Loading Those aspects of the design that pertain to portable items or consumables rather than fixed design features are not included. Because hardware such as fuel cannot be installed in the reactor until after completion of the ITAAC and because the fuel is periodically replaced, fuel is not an appropriate topic for ITAAC.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-5 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria 14.3.2.2 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria Scope First Principles The following criteria are considered when determining what information warrants inclusion in the ITAAC entries:
- The design commitment is extracted directly from the ITAAC design descriptions and differences in text are minimized, unless intentional.
- The NRC safety determination is based solely on the FSAR design information. ITAAC are not relied upon for the NRC safety determination provided in a Safety Evaluation Report.
- The ITAAC are an important part of the NRC construction verification program, but do not verify every design and construction feature included in the design. The ITAAC are not meant to be a one-for-one check of detailed design and construction features that are verified by the normal construction quality programs.
- An inspection, test, or analysis, or a combination thereof, can verify one or more provisions in the design commitment, as defined by the ITAAC.
14.3.2.2.1 Design Commitments Only Include Components Required to Perform System Functions in the Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria System Description Not every element of a design commitment specified in ITAAC has a corresponding verification requirement. For example, the safety classification of SSC are not verified by ITAAC because there is no specific test for this characteristic. Further, some ITAAC verify system function and do not address individual system components that together yield the required system functional performance.
14.3.3 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria Information 14.3.3.1 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria Tables A table of ITAAC entries is provided for each system that has design commitments in the ITAAC design description. A four-column format for the ITAAC table is used with the first column containing numbers to identify the entries' positions in the table. The remaining three columns of the ITAAC table must be read and interpreted together.
The second column of the ITAAC table identifies the design commitment to be verified. This column contains the specific text of the design commitment, which is extracted from the design commitments contained in the ITAAC design description.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-6 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria The third column of the ITAAC table identifies the proposed method by which the licensee verifies the design commitment described in column 2. The methods used are inspections, tests, analyses, or a combination of the three.
- Inspections are used when verification can be done by visual observation, physical examination, or reviews of records based on visual observation or physical examination that compare a) the SSC condition to one or more design commitments or b) the program implementation elements to one or more program commitments, as applicable. Examples include walkdowns, configuration checks, measurements of dimensions, or nondestructive examinations.
- Tests mean actuation or operation, or establishment, of specified conditions to evaluate the performance or integrity of as-built SSC, unless explicitly stated otherwise, to determine whether an ITAAC acceptance criterion is met.
In addition to testing equipment at its final location, alternative testing methods can be used including factory testing, test facility testing, and laboratory testing. Testing can also include type testing such as might be performed to demonstrate qualification to meet environmental requirements. Type test means a test on one or more sample components of the same type and manufacturer to qualify other components of the same type and manufacturer.
A type test is not necessarily a test of an as-built SSC.
- Analyses are used when verification can be done by calculation, mathematical computation, or engineering or technical evaluations.
The fourth column of the ITAAC table identifies the specific acceptance criteria for the inspections, tests, or analyses described in column 3 that, if met, demonstrate that the licensee has met the design commitments in column 2. Acceptance criteria are objective and clear to avoid confusion over whether or not acceptance criteria have been satisfied.
Using the criteria listed above, ITAAC table entries were developed for each selected system. This was achieved by evaluating the top-level design features and preparing a design commitment and corresponding ITAAC table entry for each design feature that satisfies the above selection criteria.
The ITAAC table was completed by selecting the method to be used for verification (i.e., an inspection, a test, an analysis, or a combination of these) and the acceptance criteria the as-built design features are measured against.
Where ITAAC are verified by a preoperational test, the test is established in accordance with the Initial Test Program described in Section 14.2 and Regulatory Guide 1.68. Conversion or extrapolation of test results from the test conditions to design conditions may be necessary to satisfy specific ITAAC.
Selection of acceptance criteria is dependent upon the specific design characteristic being verified by the ITAAC table entry. In most cases the appropriate acceptance criteria are self-evident. For many of the ITAAC, the NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-7 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria acceptance criterion is a statement that the as-built facility has the design feature identified in the design commitment.
A guiding principle for acceptance criteria preparation is the recognition that the criteria are objective and unambiguous. The use of objective and unambiguous terms for the acceptance criteria minimizes opportunities for multiple, subjective (and potentially conflicting) interpretations as to whether an acceptance criterion has, or has not, been met. In some cases, the acceptance criteria can be more general because the detailed supporting information in the FSAR does not lend itself to concise verification.
In some cases, the ITAAC contain numerical values from the FSAR that are not specifically identified in the design commitment column of the ITAAC table. The numerical value in the acceptance criterion is a measurement standard for determining if the as-built facility is in compliance with the design commitment.
Numerical values for SSC are specified as ITAAC acceptance criteria when values consistent with the design commitments are possible or when failure to meet the stated acceptance criterion would clearly indicate a failure to properly implement the design or meet the safety analysis.
For numerical values in the acceptance criteria, ranges or tolerances are generally included. This is necessary and acceptable because
- specification of a single-value acceptance criterion is impractical because minute deviations could indicate noncompliance.
- tolerances recognize that legitimate site variations can occur in complex construction projects.
- minor variations in plant parameters within the tolerance bounds have no effect on plant safety.
Where appropriate, the detailed design information provided in the FSAR includes supporting information for various inspections, tests, and analyses that is used to satisfy the acceptance criteria. This information describes an acceptable means of satisfying an ITAAC.
For each ITAAC table, an accompanying table is provided that includes additional information for each entry in the ITAAC table. This information may include:
- locations of detailed design information in the FSAR.
- details and references associated with the design commitment.
- additional details associated with the conduct of the inspections, tests, and analyses.
- details that further define the acceptance criteria.
NuScale US460 SDAA 14.3-8 Revision 0
NuScale Final Safety Analysis Report Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria 14.3.4 Treatment of Module-Specific and Shared Structures, Systems, and Components in Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria 14.3.4.1 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria for Module-Specific Structures, Systems, and Components Module-specific SSC are specific to and support operation of a single NPM. The module-specific design is identical between NPMs. If a design feature of a module-specific SSC meets the first principles for identification as a top-level design feature and verification through ITAAC as described in Section 14.3.2, then its ITAAC are entered into its associated system's ITAAC table. Chapter 2 of ITAAC includes an entry for each module-specific system that is either fully or partially within the scope of the NuScale Power Plant US460 standard design.
The ITAAC of a given module-specific system are the same for all NPMs and are only recorded once in an ITAAC table.
However, each ITAAC for a given module-specific system must be completed for each NPM.
14.3.4.2 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria for Shared Structures, Systems, and Components Shared SSC support multiple NPMs. If a design feature of a shared SSC meets the first principles for identification as a top-level design feature and verification through ITAAC as described in Section 14.3.2, then its ITAAC are entered into its associated system's ITAAC table. Chapter 3 of ITAAC includes an entry for each shared system that is either fully or partially within the scope of the NuScale Power Plant standard design. Additionally, shared ITAAC address non-SSC design activities that are applicable to more than one system or NPM such as human factors engineering.
Shared systems that must be completed to support the operation of the first NPM have their ITAAC completed once. If shared systems require a portion of the system to be completed to support the operation of the first NPM, then the applicable ITAAC is in a module-specific ITAAC table and must be completed for each associated NPM.
