Content:
(if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. 1. The basis for acceptance in the staff review is the conformance of the applicants’ design criteria for the protection from the effects of natural phenomena to the Commission’s regulations as set forth in the General Design Criteria, and to applicable regulatory guides and national standards. 2. The staff concludes that the assessment of possible hazards attributable to missiles generated by the design-basis tornado and other extreme winds is acceptable and conforms to the requirements of GDC 2 and 4, as they relate to tornado-generated missiles. This conclusion is based on the applicant having met the requirements of GDC 2 and 4 by meeting the guidance of RG 1.76. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. In addition, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other SER sections, the findings will summarize the staff's evaluation of the ITAAC, including design acceptance criteria, as applicable. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. 3.5.1.4-6 Revision 3 - March 2007 The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision.
