t arrangement and applicable design considerations for high- and moderate-energy fluid systems inside and outside of containment, including the reactor coolant pressure boundary, will provide adequate assurance that the structures, systems, and components important to safety that are in close proximity to the postulated pipe rupture will be protected. The design will be of a nature to mitigate the consequences of pipe ruptures so that the reactor can be safely shut down and maintained in a safe shutdown condition in the event of a postulated rupture of a high- or moderate-energy piping system inside or outside of containment. For design certification reviews, the findings will also summarize, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other safety evaluation report sections, the staff’s evaluation of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), including design acceptance criteria (DAC), site interface requirements, and combined license action items that are relevant to this SRP section.39 V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. This SRP section will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR 50 or 10 CFR 52. Except in those 40 cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications docketed six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section.41 For protection against postulated pipe ruptures outside containment, Reference 2 includes the area of concern in this position and has been used for those plants for which construction permit applications were tendered before July
