{{#Wiki_filter:ATTACHMENT 5 NEI 12-16 Criticality Analysis Checklist
 
APPENDIX C: CRITICALITY ANALYSIS CHECKLIST The criticality analysis checklist is completed by the applicant prior to submittal to the NRC. It provides a useful guide to the applicant to ensure that all the applicable subject areas are addressed in the application, or to provide justification/identification of alternative approaches.
The checklist also assists the NRC reviewer in identifying areas of the analysis that conform or do not conform to the guidance in NEI 12-16. Subsequently, the NRC review can then be more efficiently focused on those areas that deviate from NEI 12-16 and the justification for those deviations.
