Content:
ope of review of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system includes layout drawings, process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, and descriptive information for the system and the supporting systems that are essential to safe operation. The portions of systems essential for adequate cooling and maintenance of an adequate fuel storage coolant inventory have been identified and are designed to seismic Category I, Quality Group C standards because they are necessary to remove decay heat from the spent fuel and to prevent fuel damage that could lead to unacceptable releases of radioactivity. Accordingly, the staff concludes that the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system and its makeup system meets the requirements of GDC 2, 4, 5, 61, and 63. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 2 with respect to safety-related portions of the system being protected against natural phenomena. Acceptance is based on having met the guidelines of RG 1.13, position C.1, which recommends a seismic Category I design for necessary portions of the spent fuel storage facility; position C.2, regarding protection against winds and wind generated missiles; position C.6, as it relates to the system being capable of withstanding earthquakes without loss of coolant that would uncover the fuel; and position C.8, which recommends a seismic Category I makeup system with appropriate redundancy or a backup from a Category I water source. Acceptance is also based on having met the seismic design requirements of RG 1.29, position C.1, for safety-related portions of the system necessary for adequate cooling to prevent excessive radioactivity releases (position C.1.p of RG 1.29) and position C.2 as it relates to the failure of nonsafety-related portions of the system. 2. The design meets the requirements of GDC 4 with regard to protection against the effects of externally generated missiles; it is in accordance with
