Revision 2 - March 2007 4. Instrumentation and controls aspects of the sequence described in the SAR is reviewed to confirm that reactor and plant protection and safeguards controls and instrumentation systems will function as assumed in the safety analysis under SRP Sections 7.2 through 7.5. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. General Design Criterion (GDC) 10 and GDC 20, as they relate to the reactor coolant system being designed with appropriate margin to ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits (SAFDLs) are not exceeded during normal operations and AOOs. 2. GDC 13, as to the availability of instrumentation to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges to assure adequate safety, and of appropriate controls to maintain these variables and systems within prescribed operating ranges. 3. GDC 15 and GDC 28, as they relate to the reactor coolant system and its associated auxiliaries being designed with appropriate margin to ensure that the pressure boundary will not be breached during normal operations and AOOs. 4. GDC 26, as it relates to the reliable control of reactivity changes to ensure that SAFDLs are not exceeded during AOOs. This is accomplished by ensuring that appropriate margins for malfunctions, such as stuck rods, is accounted for. 5. The basic objectives of the review of the AOOs described above are: A. To identify which of the AOOs are the most limiting. B. To verify that, for the most limiting AOOs, the plant responds in such a way that the criteria regarding fuel damage and system pressure are satisfied. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section.
