gn of the containment heat removal system to permit periodic inspection of components. 3. GDC 40, as it relates to the design of the containment heat removal system to allow periodic testing to ensure system integrity and the operability of the system and active components. 4. 10 CFR 50.46(b)(5), as it relates to requirements for long-term cooling, including adequate NPSH margin in the presence of LOCA-generated and latent debris. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 6.2.2-4 Revision 5 - March 2007 1. The containment heat removal systems should meet the redundancy and power source requirements for an engineered safety feature (i.e., the results of failure modes and effects analyses of each system should ensure that the system is capable of withstanding a single failure without loss of function). This conforms to the requirements of GDC 38. 2. With regard to GDC 38 as it relates to the capability of the containment system to accomplish its safety function, the spray system should be designed to accomplish this without pump damage caused by cavitation. A supporting analysis should be presented in sufficient detail to permit the staff to determine the adequacy of the analysis. This analysis should also demonstrate that the available NPSH is greater than or equal to the required NPSH. Regulatory Guide 1.82, Revision 3 (Ref. 1), describes methods acceptable to the staff for
