APPENDIX A REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Accident Evaluation Branch (AEB) Secondary - Core Performance Branch (CPB) I. AREAS OF REVIEW The AEB review under this appendix covers the following areas: 1. The plant response to a control rod ejection accident. 2. The calculation of whole-body and thyroid doses at the exclusion area boundary and low population zone outer boundary due to the releases resulting from a rod ejection accident. The purpose of the review is to assure that the plant procedures for recovery from a rod ejection accident and the plant technical specifications are properly taken into account in computing the whole-body and thyroid doses at the nearest exclusion area boundary (EAB) and low population zone (LPZ) outer boundary, and to compare the calculated doses against the appropriate guidelines. A secondary review is performed by the CPB and the resultc Arp uised by AEB in the overall evaluation of the accident analysis. The physics and thermal-hydraulic aspects of the accident are reviewed by CPB. Verification of the applicant's calculations of the number of fuel pins experi- encing departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the amount of fuel reaching the clad melting temperature is provided by the CPB. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance criteria are based on requirements of 10 CFR Part 100 as to mitigating the radiological consequences of an accident. The plant site and dose mitigating engineered safety features are acceptable with respect to the radiological consequences of a postulated control rod ejection accident if the 15.4.8-5 Rev. 1 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Star.dard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants.
