FOREWORD
This document identifies nuclear safety criteria applied to
NRC licensed reactors. The titles of the chapters and sections
of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.70, “Standard Format and Content of
Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,” Rev. 3, are
used as the format for compiling the NRC criteria applied to the
various areas of nuclear safety addressed in a safety analysis
report for a nuclear reactor. In each section the criteria are
compiled in four groups: (1) Code of Federal Regulations, (2)
USNRC Regulatory Guides, SRP Branch Technical Positions and
Appendices, (3) Codes and Standards, and (4) Supplemental
Information.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Energy (DOE) Order DOE 5480.6, “Safety
of Department of Energy-Owned Nuclear Reactors,” establishes
reactor safety requirements to assure that reactors are sited,
designed, constructed, modified, operated, maintained, and decom-
missioned in a manner that adequately protects health and safety
and is in accordance with uniform standards, guides, and codes
which are consistent with those applied to comparable licensed
reactors.
This document identifies nuclear safety criteria applied
to licensed reactors. The degree of application of these criteria
to a DOE-owned reactor, consistent with their application to com-
parable licensed reactors, must be determined by the DOE and DOE
contractor.
Section 3
1.1 PURPOSE
This document is a compilation and source list of
nuclear safety criteria that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) applies to licensed reactors; it can be used by DOE and DOE
contractors to identify NRC criteria to be evaluated for applica-
tion to the DOE reactors under their cognizance. The criteria
listed are those that are applied to the areas of nuclear safety
addressed in the safety analysis report of a licensed reactor.
They are derived from federal regulations, USNRC regulatory
guides, Standard Review Plan (SRP) branch technical positions and
appendices, and industry codes and standards.
1.2 SOURCES OF CRITERIA AND FORMAT
To assure that this document includes all the areas of
nuclear safety addressed in a safety analysis report, USNRC
Regulatory Guide 1.70, “Standard Format and Content of Safety
Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,” Rev. 3 is used to
establish the format of this document and the titles of each
chapter and its subsections. The principal sources for the com-
piled nuclear safety criteria are Regulatory Guide 1.70 and
NUREG-0800, USNRC “Standard Review Plan,” June 1987. The compila-
tion also includes criteria published since the last revision of
these source documents. To eliminate excessive repetition,
criteria are identified only in those subsections that address
the thrust of the criteria. As an example, even though 10 CFR
50, Appendix B, “Quality Assurance,” is applicable to all areas
1-1
of nuclear safety, it is only listed in those sections that
pertain to quality assurance. The criteria applicable to each
subsection or area of safety are presented in a format
represented by the following four groups.
1.2.1 Code of Federal Regulations
Generally, these criteria are provided in federal
regulations from specific sections of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR). In addition, other federal regula-
tions are listed that were identified in separate NRC criteria
sources for application to licensed reactors.
1.2.2 USNRC Regulatory Guides, SRP Branch Technical Positions
and Appendices
USNRC regulatory guides issued under Division 1, “Power
Reactors,” and Division 2, “Research and Test Reactors” are
listed in this subsection. Regulatory guides from other divi-
sions, such as Division 8, “Occupational Health” also are listed
when pertinent to the areas of safety addressed in the safety
analysis report. Branch technical positions and appendices to
sections of the SRP are listed because they contain guidance and
requirements that supplement or, in some instances, replace those
provided in regulatory guides.
1.2.3 Codes and Standards
The industry codes and standards listed in this subsec-
tion are those endorsed by the NRC in 10 CFR and regulatory
guides, and those specified in the acceptance criteria and review
procedures of the appropriate sections of Regulatory Guide 1.70
and the SRP. Depending on when sections of these documents were
revised, their criteria often reference and endorse different
issues of a code or standard. In addition, many of the industry
standards specified in the NRC criteria have been revised or
withdrawn and replaced by more recent standards.
Most of these obsolete standards are no longer issued by
their sponsoring organization and, therefore, are not available
for use by DOE or DOE contractors. Standards specified in the NRC
criteria that were revised or replaced are identified and their
replacement standards also listed. In most instances, the
revised issues of obsolete standards that are endorsed by
regulatory guides have incorporated the additional requirements
specified in the regulatory guide.
Section 4
1.2.4 Supplemental Information
This subsection lists documents specified in the NRC
criteria that do not fall within one of the three preceding
1-2
groups of nuclear safety criteria. It includes appropriate sec-
tions from the SRP, NRC Information Notices and Bulletins,
NUREGs, and other documents specified in the NRC criteria.
Although these sources do not always specify requirements, they
provide interpretations of the criteria, as well as methods
specified by the NRC or considered acceptable to the NRC for
implementing and satisfying the pertinent NRC criteria.
1.3 DEVIATIONS FROM STANDARD FORMAT (RG 1.70)
Recognizing the unique features and characteristics
associated with many DOE reactors, Chapter 10 was expanded to
include experimental facilities as well as the steam- and power-
conversion systems that are specified in Regulatory Guide 1.70.
As a result of the TMI-2 accident, human factors criteria were
added to the SRP. Although Regulatory Guide 1.70 has not been
revised to include such criteria, Chapter 18 of this document
identifies human factors criteria specified in the SRP.
1.4 SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT CRITERIA
This section compiles the criteria that address the
need, preparation, and revision of a safety analysis report
(SAR); such criteria are not included in the areas of nuclear
safety addressed in a SAR. Criteria are also identified whose
methods of implementation may affect the preparation of various
sections of a SAR, particularly for new reactors.

ELECTRIC POWER
8.1 INTRODUCTION
This section in an SAR should include a brief descrip-
tion of the offsite and onsite electric power systems. In addi-
tion, it should describe the extent to which the recommendations
in the regulatory guides listed in 8.2 Offsite Power System and
8.3 Onsite Power System are followed. Whenever alternative
approaches are used, an acceptable level of safety must be
demonstrated. Seismic and environmental qualification require-
ments for electric power systems are identified in Sections 3.10
and 3.11.

CHAPTER 14
INITIAL TEST PROGRAMS
The criteria identified in this chapter address the ini-
tial and preoperational testing of systems, structures, and com-
ponents important to safety at nuclear reactor plant facilities.
14.1 Specific Information to be Included in Preliminary
Safety Analysis Reports
This section in an SAR should describe the major phases
of the initial test program and the overall test objectives and
general prerequisites for each major phase. In addition, it
should describe how the initial test program will be applied and
the organizations that will participate in the development and
execution of the test program. No specific NRC criteria are
