# §250.229. What must the New or Unusual Technology Barrier Equipment Conceptual Plan include?


Your New or Unusual Technology Barrier Equipment Conceptual Plan must include the following information:

- (a) A description how the New or Unusual Technology Barrier Equipment Conceptual Plan fits within your overall site-specific project, if applicable. You must include an overview of the project development concepts and a proposed schedule for submittal of associated Conceptual Plans;
- (b) Detailed schematics depicting the primary and secondary barriers that include all components, assemblies, or sub-assemblies, each labeled and categorized as a Category 1 barrier or Category 2 barrier;
- (c) A list of the primary and secondary barriers that includes all components, assemblies, or sub-assemblies specifying each assigned barrier as either a Category 1 barrier or Category 2 barrier;
- (d) A list of the engineering standards that will be used in the equipment's material selection and qualification, design verification analysis, and design validation testing;
- (e) A list of requested alternate procedures or equipment in accordance with [§ 250.141](/cfr/30/250.141.md) and requested departures in accordance with [§ 250.142](/cfr/30/250.142.md) needed for the new or unusual technology barrier equipment proposed in your New or Unusual Technology Barrier Equipment Conceptual Plan;
- (f) A list of the functional requirements (e.g., environmental and physical loads (magnitude and frequency)) for which the barrier equipment is being designed;
- (g) A description of the equipment's safety critical functions, (e.g., function(s) performed by or inherent to the equipment enabling it to achieve or maintain a safe state);
- (h) An I3P nomination, in accordance with [§ 250.231(a)](/cfr/30/250.231.md?p=a);
- (i) **An I3P verification plan that includes the following—**
  - (1) A discussion of the equipment's material selection and qualification;
  - (2) A discussion of the equipment's design verification analyses;
  - (3) A discussion of the equipment's design validation testing;
  - (4) An explanation of why the analyses, processes, and procedures ensure that the equipment is fit for service in the applicable environment; and
  - (5) Details regarding how the I3P will address the additional items listed in [§ 250.232](/cfr/30/250.232.md).
- (j) Documentation demonstrating payment of the service fee listed in [§ 250.125](/cfr/30/250.125.md).
