acceptance criteria that are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the COL, the provisions of the AEA, and the Commission’s rules and regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for NRC regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with NRC regulations. 1. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.76 describes acceptable design-basis tornado-generated missile spectra for the design of nuclear power plants. 2. RG 1.221 describes acceptable design-basis hurricane-generated missile spectra for the design of nuclear power plants. 3.5.1.4-4 Draft Revision 4 – July 2013 3. The method of identifying appropriate design-basis missiles generated by natural phenomena should be consistent with the acceptance criteria defined for the evaluation of potential accidents from external sources in SRP Section 2.2.3, “Evaluation of Potential Accidents.” A licensee or applicant may justify the acceptability of the use of another methodology on a case-by-case basis. 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 paragraphs: 1. GDC 2 establishes requirements regarding the ability of SSCs important to safety to withstand the effects of natural phenomena without the loss of capability to perform
