REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage detection. Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) leakage detection systems are designed to detect and, to the extent practical, identify the source of reactor coolant leakage. Safety analysis report (SAR) sections concerning system design are reviewed for the systems’ capability to meet the requirements of General Design Criteria (GDC) 2 and 30. The specific areas of review are as follows: 1. Whether the system can identify, to the extent practical, the location of the source of reactor coolant leakage. 2. Whether the system can separately monitor and collect leakage from both identifiable and unidentifiable sources. 3. Whether the system has adequate indicators and alarms for each leakage detection system in the main control room and readily permits interpretations of indicators related to leak rates. 4. Whether the system monitors systems connected to the RCPB for inter-system leakage. 5.2.5-2 Revision 2 - March 2007 5. Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC). For design certification (DC) and combined license (COL) reviews, the staff reviews the applicant's proposed ITAAC associated with the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) related to this SRP section in accordance with SRP Section 14.3, "Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria." The staff recognizes that the review of ITAAC cannot be completed until after the rest of this portion of the application has been reviewed against acceptance criteria contained in this SRP section. Furthermore, the staff reviews the ITAAC to ensure that all SSCs in this area of review are identified and addressed as appropriate in accordance with SRP Section 14.3. 6. COL Action Items and Certification Requirements and Restrictions. For a DC application, the review will also address COL action items and requirements and
