fies compliance with requirements applicable to reactivity accidents (GDC 28) as part of its review responsibility for SRP Sections 15.4.8 and 15.4.9. In addition, the organization responsible for the review/assessment of nuclear design will coordinate with other organization’s evaluations that interface with the overall review of the system as follows: 1. The organization responsible for materials and chemical engineering reviews the neutron-induced embrittlement of the reactor vessel materials as part of its review responsibility for SRP Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2. 2. The organization responsible for instrumentation and control (I&C) reviews the adequacy of proposed instrumentation to meet the requirements for maintaining the reactor operating within defined limits as part of its review responsibility for SRP Sections 7.1 through 7.6. 3. The organization responsible for nuclear plant systems verifies that the new fuel will be maintained in a subcritical status during all credible conditions as part of its review responsibility for SRP Section 9.1.1. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. 4.3-7 Revision 3 - March 2007 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. GDC 10 requires that acceptable fuel design limits be specified that are not to be exceeded during normal operation, including the effects of anticipated operational occurrences. 2. GDC 11 requires that, in the power operating range, the prompt inherent nuclear feedback characteristics tend to compensate for a rapid increase in reactivity. 3. GDC 12 requires that power oscillations that could result in conditions exceeding specified acceptable fuel design limits are not possible or can be reliably and readily detected and suppressed. 4. GDC 13 requires provision of instrumentation and controls (I&C) to monitor variables and systems that can
