Content:
ty of the RHR system may be based on the degree of design similarity with previously approved plants. Deviations from these criteria from other types of RHR systems (e.g., systems that are designed to withstand reactor coolant system operating pressure or systems located entirely inside containmnt) will be considered on an individual basis. V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. Except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, 5.4.7-11 Rev. 3 - April 1984 the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced BTP RSB 5-1, regulatory guides, NUREGs and implementation of acceptance criterion subsections II.B and II.2 is as follows: (a) Operating plants and OL applicants need not comply with the provisions of this revision. (b) CP aplicants will be required to comply with the provisions of this revision. VI.
