h the combined license, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and the NRC's regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s 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 the NRC regulations. 1. To meet the requirements of GDC 2, 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix S regarding seismic design classification are met by using guidance provided in RG 1.29 "Seismic Design Classification." This guide describes an 3.2.1-5 Revision 2 - March 2007 acceptable method of identifying and classifying those plant features that should be designed to withstand the effects of the SSE. RG 1.151 provides guidance with regard to seismic design requirements and classification of safety-related instrumentation sensing lines. RG 1.143 provides guidance used to establish the seismic design requirements of radioactive waste management SSCs to meet the requirements of GDC 2 and 61 as they relate to designing these SSCs to withstand earthquakes. The guide identifies several radioactive waste SSCs requiring some level of seismic design consideration. RG 1.189 provides guidance used to establish the design requirements of fire protection to meet the requirements of GDC 2 as it relates to designing these SSCs to withstand earthquakes. This guide identifies portions of fire protection SSCs requiring some level of seismic design consideration. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of
