These comprise a descriptive outline of the whole plant, together with specific reference to the safety of each system. Compliance with the relevant safety criteria is demonstrated in these sections and the codes and standards used are noted.

As an example, Section VIII (electrical systems) requires comment on the following subjects: design basis—electrical system; design—network inter­connections, station distribution system, emergency power, and tests and inspections. Section III (reactor) requires discussion of design bases—nu­clear, reactivity, mechanical, and thermal hydraulic; design—nuclear char­acteristics and evaluation, mechanical characteristics and evaluation, ther­mal hydraulic characteristics and evaluation; and safety limits and condi­tions—tests and inspections.
