arch 2007 Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. GDC 4 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed to accommodate the effects and be compatible with the environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents. Although the circulating water system is not safety related, GDC 4 establishes CWS design limits that will minimize the potential for creating adverse environmental conditions (e.g., flooding of systems and components important to safety). Meeting the requirements of this criterion provides a level of assurance that systems and components important to safety will perform their intended safety functions. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. The procedures below are used during the construction permit (CP) reviews to determine that the design criteria and bases and the preliminary design as set forth in the preliminary safety analysis report meet the acceptance criteria given in subsection II. For the review of operating license (OL) or combined license applications, the procedures are used to verify that the initial design criteria and bases have been appropriately implemented in the final design as set forth in the final safety analysis report (FSAR). Upon request from the primary reviewer, the interface reviewers will provide input for the areas of review stated in subsection I. The primary reviewer obtains and
