Content:
s been determined that critical combinations do not exist. At our request, the applicant committed to initiating Stage II shutdown if communications are lost, or if there is no certainty that critical combinations do not exist in such situations. Three communication networks are available to the applicant: (1) the applicant's own microwave network, (2) the applicant's own power line carrier system, and (3) the commercial Bell telephone system. 31 The staff finds that both the applicant's proposed emergency flood protection plan and corresponding plant shutdown technical specification meet the criteria of Regulatory Guides 1.59 and 1.102 and are acceptable from a hydrologic engineering standpoint. Technical specifications for plant shutdown to minimize the possibility of an accident resulting from hydrologically associated phenomena other than floods are not necessary, since such phenomena should have inconsequential effects upon safety-related facilities. For design certification reviews, the findings will also summarize, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other safety evaluation report sections, the staff’s evaluation of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), including design acceptance criteria (DAC), site interface requirements, and combined license action items that are relevant to this SRP section.32 V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP Section. This SRP section will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR 50 or 10 CFR 52. Except in those 33 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. The provisions of this SRP section apply
