The review for Quality Assurance is coordinated and performed by the Quality Assurance and Maintenance Branch (HQMB) as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Chapter 17.18 5.2.5-3 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria and their methods of application are contained in the SRP sections corresponding to those branches. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptability of the design of the RCPB Leakage Detection Systems as described in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR) is based on specific general design criteria and regulatory guides. The design of the system is acceptable if the integrated design of the system is in accordance with the following criteria: 1. General Design Criterion 2 as it relates to the capability of the systems to maintain and perform their safety functions following an earthquake. Acceptance is based on meeting the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.29, positions C-1 and C-2. 2. General Design Criterion 30 as it relates to the detection, identification and monitoring of the source of reactor coolant leakage. Acceptance is based on meeting the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.45, positions C-1 through C-9. Technical Rationale:19 The technical rationale for application of the above acceptance criteria to the reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage detection systems is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. GDC 2 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena, including earthquakes, without loss of capability to perform their intended safety
