§ 53.410 Functional design criteria for design-basis accidents.
(a) Functional design criteria must be defined for each design feature classified as safety-related (SR) in terms of its role in demonstrating compliance with the safety criteria defined in § 53.210.
(b) The identification of special treatments associated with the design of SR structures, systems, and components (SSCs) must consider human actions and programmatic controls identified and implemented in accordance with this and other subparts to achieve and maintain the reliability and capability of SSCs relied upon to satisfy the defined functional design criteria and the safety criteria required in § 53.210, and to maintain consistency with analyses required by § 53.450(f).
