containment recirculation sump and have a negative impact on the performance of post-accident cooling safety systems. Regulatory Guide 1.54 describes an acceptable method of complying with the quality assurance requirements in regard to protective coatings applied to ferritic steels, aluminum, stainless steel, zinc-coated (galvanized) steel, concrete, or masonry surfaces of nuclear facilities. Compliance with Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 is important to ensure the overall quality and safety performance of protective coatings under normal and accident conditions. 6.1.2-3 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer selects and emphasizes aspects of the areas covered by this review plan section as may be appropriate for a particular case. The judgment on the areas to be given attention and emphasis in the review is based on an inspection of the material presented to see whether or not it is similar to that recently reviewed on other plants and whether items of special safety significance are involved. At the construction permit review stage, the reviewer verifies that the applicant has committed to using protective coating systems which meet the acceptance criteria. At the operating license review stage, the reviewer determines the types and quantities of radiation and chemical decomposition products that can be produced from all the paints and organic materials which are exposed to the containment atmosphere. The paints and organic materials to be considered include those paints that are specified in the Safety Analysis Report (SAR), unspecified protective coatings on small machinery and equipment, and organic materials such as cable insulation. The determination is based on documented test data provided by the applicant. If test data are unavailable, a conservative analysis is required. The environmental conditions for the test and analysis must be comparable to those specified in Section 3.11 of the SAR. In the absence of test data on specific
