CFR Part: 
CFR Title: 

Content:
ion products, and impurities from the pool water and thus meets the require- ments of Criterion 61 as it relates to appropriate filtering systems for fuel cooling and storage, (2) reduces occupational exposure to radiation by removing radioactive materials from the pool water and thus meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, §20.1(c) as it relates to maintaining radiation exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) and, (3) retains radioactive materials and crud in the pool water in the demineralizer and filters and thus meets positions C.2.f(2) and (3) of Regulatory Guide 8.8. 7. The system design meets the requirements of General Design Criterion 63 since it has provisions to detect the loss of heat removal function through the use of loss of flow and temperature alarms, and to detect conditions that would result in excessive radiation through the use of coolant low level alarms and radiation monitoring alarms. And the system has the capability to initiate appropriate safety actions since it has an automatic makeup system and the cooling system and ventilation and filtration system can be operated from the control room in the event of high radiation or low level alarms. V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. Except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced Regulatory Guides. VI.
