and& Controls Systems Branch (SHICB) , as part of its primary 11 review responsibility for SRP Section 7.6, reviews the adequacy of controls and instrumentation for the automatic and manual actuation of overpressure protection components. 7. The Technical Specifications Branch (OTSB), as part of its primary review 12 responsibility for SRP Section 16.0, reviews technical specifications. 5.2.2-3 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 8. The Performance and Quality Evaluation Branch (PQEB)HQMB , as part of its 13 14 primary review responsibility for SRP Sections 17.1 and 17.2, reviews quality assurance requirements. For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The SRXB acceptance criteria for the overpressure protection system are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following regulations: 1. General Design Criterion 15, as it relates to the reactor coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems being designed with sufficient margin to assure that the design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 2. General Design Criterion 31, as it relates to the reactor coolant pressure boundary being designed with sufficient margin to assure that boundaryit behaves in a nonbrittle manner and that the probability of rapidly propagating fracture is minimized. 15 Applications for construction permit should meet recommendations of Task Action Plan items II.D.1 and II.D.3 of NUREG-0718 (Ref. 4). Applications for operating license shall meet recommendations of Task Action Plan items II.D.1 and II.D.3 of NUREG-0737 (Ref. 5). Applicants should meet the recommendations of the
