fety Analysis Report (SAR) meet the acceptance criteria of subsection II of this SRP section. For operating license (OL) or COL reviews, the procedures verify whether the design criteria and bases are implemented appropriately in the LLHS final design. The reviewer will select and emphasize material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 1. The LLHS system performance requirements are reviewed for whether they cover the handling system concept used in the design and describe the component and subsystem functions within the integrated system. The reviewer verifies whether the LLHS physical arrangement for stored fuel and fuel handling areas has been described sufficiently to establish that the various handling operations can be performed safely. Descriptive information regarding the physical arrangement should establish that fuel handling equipment maintains: a large margin to criticality by precluding handling of more 9.1.4-7 Draft Revision 4 – June 2013 assemblies than has been shown to be safely subcritical, adequate cooling for irradiated fuel, adequate shielding for radiation protection for operators, and adequate clearance to reduce the potential for mechanical damage to fuel during transfer. The LLHS must include capability for removal of spent fuel from the facility. 2. The performance specifications developed as part of the design and described in the SAR are reviewed for whether the design, material selection, manufacturing, installation, testing, and operating procedures equal or exceed performance specifications. The reviewer verifies whether the applicant’s selected consensus standards, engineering
