• OPPDs post-restart commitment states:

- After restart, OPPD will complete a significant effort to perform a risk-focused reconstitution of the:

Design basis, Licensing basis, and Updated Safety Analysis Report

- As part of this project, OPPD will:

Ensure proper classification of equipment, Convert to a safety-related Q List approach for equipment classification, and Complete a key calculation review
