ensuring that the system is capable of performing its intended safety function.82 G. Compliance with GDC 61 requires that the fuel storage system be designed to ensure adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions. The system shall be designed with the capability to permit appropriate periodic inspection and testing of components important to safety, suitable shielding for radiation protection, containment capability, confinement capability, and residual heat removal capability. This SRP section describes staff positions related to the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system, including provisions for inspection and testing, shielding, containment and confinement, and residual heat removal. Meeting the requirements of GDC 61 provides assurance that components of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system will be inspected, tested, shielded, and provided with containment, confinement, and residual heat removal capability to ensure that the system is capable of performing its intended safety function.83 H. Compliance with GDC 63 requires that appropriate systems be provided in the fuel storage area to detect conditions that may result in the loss of residual heat removal capability or excessive radiation levels, and initiate appropriate safety actions. This SRP section describes staff positions related to the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system, including provisions for monitoring and detection systems. Meeting the requirements of GDC 63 provides assurance that components of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system will be provided with monitoring and detection capabilities to ensure that the system is capable of performing its intended safety function.84 I. Compliance with 10 CFR 20.1101(b) requires that the licensee use, to the extent practicable, procedures and engineering controls based on sound radiation protection principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the public that are
