Content:
importance to safety are satisfied by (1) designing essential portions of the cooling system to seismic Category I criteria and with adequate cooling capacity assuming a single active failure, and (2) providing a forced-circulation cooling capability that maintains the pool at temperatures suitable for fuel handling during routine operating conditions, including refueling. The capability to prevent a significant reduction in fuel storage coolant inventory under accident conditions is satisfied by providing adequate makeup capability and designing the SFPCCS such that 9.1.3-7 Revision 2 - March 2007 the coolant can neither be drained nor siphoned below a specified level. Provisions to minimize occupational exposure to radiation are satisfied by providing the capability to remove impurities from the coolant and maintain an adequate water level for shielding of stored fuel. Meeting the requirements of GDC 61 provides assurance that components of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system will be inspected, tested, shielded, and provided with containment, confinement, and residual heat removal capability to ensure that the system is capable of performing its intended safety function under normal and postulated accident conditions. 5. Compliance with GDC 63 requires that appropriate systems be provided in the fuel storage area to detect conditions that may result in the loss of residual heat removal capability or excessive radiation levels, and initiate appropriate safety actions. This SRP section describes staff positions related to the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system, including provisions for monitoring and detection systems. Meeting the requirements of GDC 63 provides assurance that components of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system will be provided with monitoring and detection capabilities to ensure that the system is capable of performing its intended safety function. 6. Compliance with 10 CFR 20.1101(b) requires that the
