lure of nonsafety-related portions of the system. 2. The design meets the requirements of GDC 4 with regard to protection against the effects of externally generated missiles; it is in accordance with position C.2 of RG 1.13 because no loss of watertight integrity or fuel damage occur in the event of tornado missiles. 3. The design meets the requirements of GDC 5 regarding the sharing of safety-related structures, systems, and components because no single failure will prevent the system from performing its safety-related function, which is cooling the spent fuel. 4. The system is designed in accordance with the requirements of GDC 61 as it relates to the system design for fuel storage because the system has the following design capabilities: the system has the capability for periodic testing of components important to safety; the system has the capability to remove decay heat from the spent fuel under 9.1.3-13 Revision 2 - March 2007 both normal operating and accident conditions; the system has redundancy so that decay heat can be removed assuming a single active failure; the system is designed to provide suitable shielding by maintaining a minimum water level above the fuel; the system provides appropriate containment of radioactivity by collecting and providing a means for detecting leakage; and the system is designed to prevent reduction in fuel storage coolant inventory under accident conditions in accordance with position C.6 of RG 1.13. The spent fuel pool cleanup portion of the system (1) provides the capability and capacity of removing radioactive materials, corrosion products, and impurities from the pool water and thus meets the requirements of Criterion 61 as it relates to appropriate filtering systems for fuel cooling and storage, (2) reduces occupational exposure to radiation by removing radioactive materials from the pool water and thus meets the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1101(b) as it relates to maintaining radiation exposures ALARA and, (3) retains
