lved and suspended impurities which may be present in the condensate. Based on the staff's review of the applicant's proposed design criteria and design bases for the condensate cleanup system and the requirements for operation of the system, the staff concludes that the design of the condensate cleanup system and supporting systems is acceptable and meets the primary boundary integrity requirements of General Design Criterion 14. This conclusion is based on the applicant having met the requirements of GDC 14 as it relates to maintaining acceptable chemistry control for BWR reactor coolant and for PWR secondary coolant during normal opera- tion and anticipated operational occurrences by reducing corrosion of BWR reactor system components and of PWR steam generator tubes and materials, thereby reducing the likelihood and magnitude of reactor piping failures and of primary-to-secondary coolant leakage. This requirement has been met by the applicant's design of the CCS meeting the regulatory positions of Regulatory Guide 1.56 for BWRs and meeting the Branch Technical Position MTEB 5-3 for PWRs. V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plan for using this SRP section. 10.4.6-3 Rev. 2 - July 1981 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 con- formance with Commission regulations.
