3. Regulatory Audit Scope

The scope of this audit, for the Duane Arnold Energy Center, is those plant AMPs that the applicant takes credit as being consistent with a GALL program. For those programs that the applicant claims consistency, it is incumbent on the applicant to ensure that the plant AMP is consistent with the elements of the referenced GALL program.
