‘‘Introduction—Part 2, Standard Review
Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis
Reports for Nuclear Power Plants:
Integral Pressurized Water (iPWR)
Edition.’’ This subsection has been
developed to assist NRC staff with the
review of certain iPWR applications for
Design Certifications or Combined
Licenses made under part 52 of Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), and to inform new reactor
applicants and other affected entities of
proposed SRP guidance for an
acceptable method of implementation of
a risk-informed and integrated review
framework for iPWRs.
Following NRC staff evaluation of
public comments, the NRC intends to
incorporate the final approved guidance
into the next revision of NUREG 0800.

of January 2013.
