ven in the event that a liner plate failed, it would not likely block the coolant outlet of spent fuel assemblies completely and sufficient cooling of stored spent fuel would be maintained. Therefore, the spent fuel pool liner plate seismic design is not considered a significant safety issue and backfit is not required. 9.1.2-6 Rev. 3 - July 1981 b. In regard to the handling of heavy loads, e.g., the spent fuel ship- ping cask in the vicinity of the spent fuel storage pool, the reviewer is required to establish and verify in SRP Section 9.1.5 that one of the alternative approaches described in Section 5 of NUREG-0612 has been satisfied. If Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.6 of NUREG-0612 have not been met, the SAR safety evaluations, results of design calculations, and the general arrangement and layout drawings should show that the spent fuel loading put has been designed to withstand the loads from dropped heavy objects including the shipping cask, and that the load- ing area is not an integral part of the storage pool floor so that if a dropped object should breach the pit area, loss of fuel pool water would not result in an unacceptable level. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the information provided and his review support conclusions of the following type, to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The spent fuel storage facility includes the spent fuel storage racks, the spent fuel storage pool that contains the storage racks, and the associated equipment storage pits. Based on the review of the appli- cant's proposed design criteria, design bases, and safety classifica- tion for the spent fuel storage facility and the provisions necessary to maintain a subcritical array, the staff concludes that the design of the spent fuel storage facility and supporting systems is in confor- mance with the Commission's regulations as set forth in General Design Criteria 2, 4, 5, 61, 62, and 63. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant
