REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - AuxiliaryPlant Systems Branch (ASBSPLB)1 Secondary - NoneEmergency Preparedness and Radiation Protection Branch (PERB)2 I. AREAS OF REVIEW The function of the spent fuel pool area ventilation system (SFPAVS) is to maintain ventilation in the spent fuel pool equipment areas, to permit personnel access, and to control airborne radioactivity in the area during normal operation, anticipated operational transients occurrences,3 and following postulated fuel handling accidents. The ASBSPLB reviews the SFPAVS from air intake to the point of discharge where the system 4 connects to the gaseous cleanup and treatment system or the station vents to assure ensure5 conformance with the requirements of General Design Criteria 2, 5, 60, and 61. The review 6 includes components such as air intakes, ducts, air conditioning units, filters, blowers, isolation dampers, and exhaust fans. The review of the SFPAVS covers all areas containing or adjacent to the spent fuel pool, including the spent fuel pool cooling pump room. 7 1. The ASBSPLB reviews the SFPAVS to determine the safety significance of the system. 8 Based on this determination, the safety-related part portions of the system is are reviewed with respect to functional performance requirements during normal operation, during adverse environmental occurrences, and subsequent to postulated accidents, including 9 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 9.4.2-2 the loss of offsite power. The ASBSPLB reviews safety-related portions of the system 10 to assure ensure that: a. A single active failure cannot result in loss of the system functional performance capability. b. Failures of nonseismic Category I equipment or components will not affect the SFPAVS. 2. The ASBSPLB also reviews safety-related portions of the SFPAVS with respect to the 11 following: a. The capability to direct ventilation air from areas of low radioactivity to areas of potentially higher radioactivity. b. The capability to detect the need for
