Content:
systems for periodic inspection and operability testing of the systems and system components such as pumps, valves, duct pressure-relieving devices, and spray nozzles. 8. To satisfy the system design requirements of GDC 38, instrumentation should be provided to monitor containment heat removal system and system component performance under normal and accident conditions. The instru- mentation should be capable of determining whether a system is performing its intended function, or a system train or component is malfunctioning and should be isolated. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The procedures described below provide guidance for the review of containment heat removal systems. The reviewer selects and emphasizes material from the review procedures as may be appropriate for a particular case. Portions of the review may be done on a generic basis for aspects of heat removal systems common to a class of containments, or by adopting the results of previous reviews of plants with essentially the same system. Upon request from CSB, the secondary review branches will provide input for the areas of review stated in subsection I of this SRP section. CSB obtains and uses such input as required to assure that this review procedure is complete. CSB assures that the design and functional capability of the containment heat removal system conform to the requirements of General Design Criteria 38, 39 and 40. CSB determines the acceptability of a containment heat removal system design by reviewing failure modes and effects analyses of the system to be sure that all potential single failures have been identified and no single failure could incapacitate the entire system; verifying that engineered safety feature design standards have been applied; reviewing the system design provisions for periodic inservice inspection and operability testing to ensure that the system and components are accessible for inspection and all active components can be tested; and reviewing the capability to monitor
