pect to safety-related portions of the system being protected against natural phenomena. Acceptance is based on meeting the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.13, position C.1 which recommends a seismic Category I design for necessary portions of the spent fuel storage facility, position C.2 regarding protection against winds and wind generated missiles, posi- tion C.6 as it relates to the system being capable of withstanding earth- quakes without loss of coolant that would uncover the fuel, and position C.8 which recommends a seismic Category I makeup system with appropriate redundancy or a backup from a Category I water source. Acceptance is also based on meeting the seismic design requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.29, position C.1 for safety-related portions of the system necessary for adequate cooling to prevent excessive radioactivity releases (position C...p of Regulatory Guide 1.29) and position C.2 as it relates to the failure of nonsafety-related portions of the system. If the fuel pool building ventilation and filtration systems are designed to seismic Category I requirements and in accordance with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.52 the cooling portion of the system need not be seismic Category I. 2. The design meets the requirements of General Design Criterion 4 with regards to protection against the effects of externally generated missiles since it is in accordance with position C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.13 since no loss of watertight integrity or fuel damage occur in the event of tornado missiles. 3. The design meets the requirements of General Design Criterion 5 regarding the sharing of safety-related structures, systems, and components since no single failure will prevent the system from performing its safety-related function which is cooling the spent fuel. 4. The design meets the requirements of General Design Criterion 44 regarding decay heat removal redundancy and power supplies, since the system has the capability to remove decay heat from
