Content:
t’s proposed piping and restraint arrangement and applicable design considerations for high- and moderate-energy fluid systems inside and outside of containment, including the RCPB, provide adequate assurance that the SSCs important to safety that are in close proximity to the postulated pipe rupture will be appropriately protected. The proposed design appropriately mitigates the consequences of pipe ruptures so that the reactor can be safely shut down and maintained in a safe shutdown condition in the event of a postulated rupture of a high- or moderate-energy piping system inside or outside of containment. 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 with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. For protection against postulated pipe ruptures outside containment, all applicants should demonstrate conformance to criteria as described in BTP 3-4. The plants for which construction permit applications were tendered before July 1, 1973, may use design criteria for protection against postulated pipe ruptures outside containment as
