1 REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Containment Systems and Severe Accident Branch (SCSB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW SCSB reviews the Design Control document (DCD) submitted by the applicant. SCSB has primary review responsibility for the containment and associated systems. Review responsibilities may be consistent with those contained in Appendix B to SRP Section 14.3. SCSB reviews Tier 1 information for issues regarding containment design including containment isolation provisions, containment leakage testing, hydrogen generation and control, containment heat removal, suppression pool hydrodynamic loads, and sub-compartment analysis. In addition, SCSB has responsibility for the review of selected definitions, interface requirements of the standard design with the site, and site parameters for the design, that pertain to containment systems issues. Review Interfaces SRP Section 14.3 provides general guidance on review interfaces. SCSB is responsible for providing inputs to other branches regarding design features and functions of SSCs that should be addressed in Tier 1 information based on severe accident analyses. SCSB performs related reviews and coordination activities, as requested by other branches, for issues in Tier 1 related to containment systems and severe accidents. In addition, SCSB will coordinate other branches' evaluations that interface with the overall review of the systems as follows: DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 14.3.11-2 1. The Electrical Engineering Branch (EELB) determines the acceptability of Tier 1 information regarding electrical SSCs in SRP Section 14.3.6. 2. The Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB) determines the acceptability of Tier 1 information regarding the ability of SSCs to withstand various natural phenomena in SRP Sections 14.3.1 and 14.3.2, and regarding piping design in SRP Section 14.3.3. 3. The Instrumentation and Controls Branch (HICB) determines the acceptability of Tier 1 information regarding the I&C
