oposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. Specific criteria acceptable to meet the requirements of GDC 14 are as follows: 1. For direct cycle (boiling-water reactor (BWR)) plants, SRP Section 5.4.8 provides the criteria for acceptable water purity. SRP Section 5.4.8 refers to the guidelines provided in the latest version in the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report series, “BWR Water Chemistry Guidelines,” and the technical specifications for the water chemistry of BWR reactor coolant systems. 10.4.6-4 Revision 3 - March 2007 2. For indirect cycle (pressurized-water reactor (PWR)) plants, SRP Section 5.4.2.1 provides the criteria for acceptable secondary water chemistry. SRP Section 5.4.2.1 refers to the guidelines provided in the latest version in the EPRI report series, “PWR Secondary Water Chemistry Guidelines.” Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraph: GDC 14 requires that the reactor coolant pressure boundary be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to ensure an extremely low probability of abnormal leakage, rapidly propagating failure, and gross rupture. GDC 14 applies to SRP Section 10.4.6 because the CCS maintains water quality to avoid corrosion-induced failure of the reactor pressure boundary. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. The reviewer will evaluate the system design information and drawings. Using
