ign limits are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including the effects of anticipated operational occurrences. 15.1.1-15.1.4-6 Revision 2 - March 2007 GDC 10 is applicable to this section because the reviewer evaluates the consequences of anticipated operational occurrences that have the potential to exceed allowable thermal design criteria for fuel cladding integrity. These anticipated operational occurrences involve the transient increase in heat removal by the secondary system, which in turn causes reactor power to increase in response to the resultant lowering of the temperature of the reactor coolant. Regulatory Guide 1.53 provides guidance with respect to the application of the single failure criterion to the design and analysis of nuclear power plant protection systems. Regulatory Guide 1.105 provides guidance for ensuring that instrument setpoints are initially within and remain within the technical specification limits. Meeting the requirements of GDC 10 provides assurance that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded for the anticipated operational occurrences evaluated in this SRP section involving excessive heat removal by the secondary system. 2. GDC 13 requires the provision of instrumentation that is capable of monitoring variables and systems over their anticipated ranges to assure adequate safety, and of controls that can maintain these variables and systems within prescribed operating ranges. GDC 13 applies to this section because the reviewer evaluates the sequence of events, including automatic actuations of protection systems, and manual actions, and determines whether the sequence of events is justified, based upon the expected values of the relevant monitored parameters and instrument indications. 3. Compliance with GDC 15 requires that the reactor coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems be designed with sufficient margin to ensure that the design conditions of the reactor
