Content:
ubatmospheric containments and vacuum relief devices. 5. The Plant Systems Branch (SPLB), under SRP Section 3.11, reviews the environmental qualification of the containment system. 11 6. For new plant applicants, the Probabilistic Safety Assessment Branch (SPSB) coordinates and performs shutdown risk assessment reviews, including containment analysis issues, as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 19.1 (Proposed). 12 For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA SCSB acceptance criteria are based on meeting the following regulations: 13 1. General Design Criterion (GDC) 16, as it relates to the reactor containment and associated systems being designed to assure that containment design conditions important to safety are not exceeded for as long as postulated accident conditions require. Since the primary reactor containment is the final barrier of the defense-in-depth concept to protect against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the environs, preserving containment 6.2.1.1.A-3 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 integrity under the dynamic conditions imposed by postulated loss of coolant accidents is essential. 2. General Design Criterion 50, as it relates to the reactor containment structure and associated heat removal system(s) being designed so that the containment structure and its internal compartments can accommodate the calculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from any loss-of-coolant accident without exceeding the design leakage rate and with sufficient margin. 3. General Design Criterion 38, as it relates to the containment heat removal system(s) function to rapidly reduce the containment pressure and temperature following any loss-of-coolant accident and
