ained, as required, if the facility is subjected to adverse natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods. In making this determination, the reviewer considers the following points: a. The facility design basis and criteria and the component classifi- cation tables are reviewed to verify that the spent fuel storage facility including the storage pool, pool liner, and racks have been classified and designed to seismic Category I requirements. The ASB will accept a statement that the facility will be designed and constructed as a seismic Category I system. (CP) b. If the spent fuel pool liner plate will not be designed and con- structed to seismic Category I requirements, the spent fuel pool 9.1.2-5 Rev. 3 - July 1981 liner plate Is reviewed to verify that a failure of the liner plate as a result of an SSE will not cause any of the following:1 1. Significant releases of radioactivity due to mechanical damage to the fuel; 2. Significant loss of water from the pool which could uncover the fuel and lead to release of radioactivity due to heatup; 3. Loss of ability to cool the fuel due to flow blockage caused by a portion or one complete section of the liner plate falling on top of the fuel racks; 4. Damage to safety-related equipment as a result of the pool leak- age; and 5. Uncontrolled release of significant quantities or radioactive fluids to the environs. c. The essential portions of the spent fuel storage system are reviewed to verify that protection from the effects of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and internally or externally generated missiles is pro- vided. Flood protection and missile protection criteria are discussed in sections of the SRP contained in Chapter 3. The reviewer utilizes the information in those SRP sections, as appropriate, to assure that the analyses presented are valid. ASB will accept a statement to the effect that the storage facility is located in a seismic Category I structure that is missile and flood
