All possible operating modes of the unit should be described, including startup, normal power operation, shutdown, refuelling and any other allowable modes of operation. The permissible periods of operation at different power levels in the event of a deviation from normal operating conditions should be described. The methods for restoring the unit to normal operating conditions should also be specified. 

This section should provide a listing of the topical reports that are incorporated by reference as part of the SAR. Results of tests and analyses (e.g. results of manufacturers material tests and qualification data) may be submitted as separate reports. In such cases, the reports should be hsted in this section and referenced or summarized in the appropriate section of the SAR.
