Content:
pair the ability of the RHR system to perform its safety function, including, in the event of an accident to one unit, an orderly shutdown and cooldown of the remaining units. D. The applicant has met General Design Criterion 19, with respect to the main control room requirements for normal operations and shutdown, and General Design Criterion 34, which specifies requirements for the RHR system by meeting the regulatory positions in Branch Technical Position BTP 5-4. E. The applicant has met the parameters of Item III.D.1.1 of NUREG-0737, equivalent to 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(xxvi) for applicants subject to 10 CFR 50.34(f), with respect to leakage detection and control in the design of RHR systems outside containment that contain (or may contain) radioactive material following an accident. In addition to the above criteria, the acceptability of the RHR system may be based on the degree of design similarity with previously approved plants. Deviations from these criteria for other types of RHR systems (e.g., systems that are designed to withstand RCS operating pressure or systems located entirely inside containment) will be considered on an individual basis. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. In addition, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other SER sections, the findings will summarize the staff's evaluation of the ITAAC, including design acceptance criteria, as applicable. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance
