e as being the responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP sections corresponding to those branches.26 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptability of the new fuel storage facility design as described in the applicant's analysis report (SAR) is based on specific general design criteria, regulatory guides, industry standards, and on independent calculations and staff judgments with respect to facility functions and DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 9.1.1-4 component selection. The design of the new fuel storage facility is acceptable if the integrated design is in accordance with the following criteria: 1. General Design Criterion 2 (GDC 2), as it relates to the ability of structures housing the 27 facility and the facility components to withstand the effects of earthquakes. Acceptance is based on meeting the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.29, position C.1.1l, as it relates to 28 seismic classification of facility components. 2. General Design Criterion 5 (GDC 5), as it relates to shared structures, systems and 29 components important to safety being capable of performing required safety functions. 3. General Design Criterion 61 (GDC 61), as it relates to the facility design for fuel storage. 30 4. General Design Criterion 62 (GDC 62), as it relates to the prevention of criticality by 31 physical systems or processes utilizing geometrically safe configurations. Specific criteria necessary to meet the requirements of General Design Criteria 61 and 62 are ANS 57.1, "Design Requirements for LWR Fuel Handling Systems," and ANS 57.3, "Design 32 33 Requirements for New LWR Fuel Storage Facilities" (proposed), as they relate to the prevention of criticality and to the aspects of the radiological design. Technical Rationale34 The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to reviewing new fuel storage is discussed in the following paragraphs:35 1. Compliance with GDC 2 requires that
