ity, additional guidance acceptable for meeting this criterion is found in ANS 57.3, paragraphs 6.2.1.3(2), 6.2.3.1, 6.3.1.1, 6.3.3.4, and 6.3.4.2. 2. Acceptance for meeting the relevant aspect of GDC 4 is based on positions C.2 and C.3 of RG 1.13, and RG 1.115 and 1.117. 3. GDC 5 is met by sharing the SSCs important to safety between the units in a manner that does not degrade the performance of their safety functions. 4. Acceptance for meeting the relevant aspect of GDC 61 for the spent fuel storage facility is based on compliance with positions C.4, C.6, C.10, C.11 and C.12 of RG 1.13 and the appropriate paragraphs of ANS 57.2. Acceptance for meeting this criterion for the new fuel storage facility is based on compliance with the appropriate paragraphs of ANS 57.3. Acceptance is also based on meeting the fuel storage capacity requirements noted in subsection III.1 of this SRP section. The following design considerations are evaluated: A. Provisions for periodic inspections of components important to safety. B. Suitable shielding for radiation protection, including adequate water levels. C. Appropriate containment and confinement systems. D. Residual heat removal capability by effective coolant flow through the storage racks for spent fuel assemblies. E. Prevention of reduction in fuel storage coolant inventory under accident conditions. 5. Acceptance for meeting the relevant aspect of GDC 63 for spent fuel storage is based on compliance with position C.7 of RG 1.13 and paragraph 5.4 of ANS 57.2. Acceptance for meeting this criterion for the dry storage of new fuel is based on radiation monitoring pursuant to 10 CFR 70.24 or acceptable prevention of an increase in effective multiplication factor (Keff) beyond safe limits as described in 10 CFR 50.68. 6. In meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1101(b), positions C.2.f(2) and C.2.f(6) of RG 8.8 are the bases for acceptance with respect to provisions for decontamination. For spent fuel storage, paragraph 5.1.5 of
