al design criteria, regulatory guides, and 23 industry standards. Information obtained from other Federal agencies and reports, military specifications, available technical literature, and operational performance data obtained from similarly designed systems at other plants having satisfactory operational experience will also be utilized to determine EDESS acceptability. The design of the EDESS is acceptable if the integrated design of the system is in accordance with the following criteria: 1. General Design Criterion 2, as related to the ability of structures housing the system to withstand the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods, as established in Chapters 2 and 3 of the SAR. Acceptance is based on meeting Position 13 to the appendix to Regulatory Guide 1.117, as related to the protection of structures, systems, and components (SSC) important to safety from the 24 effects of tornado missiles. 2. General Design Criterion 4, with respect to structures housing the systems and the system itself being capable of withstanding the effects of externally and internally generated missiles, pipe whip, and jet impingement forces associated with pipe breaks. Acceptance is based on meeting Position C.1 of Regulatory Guide 1.115 as related to the protection of SSC important to safety from the effects of turbine missiles. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 9.5.6-4 3. General Design Criterion 5, as related to the capability of shared systems and components important to safety to perform required safety functions. 4. General Design Criterion 17 as related to the capability of the diesel engine air starting system to meet independence and redundancy criteria. Specific criteria and guidance necessary to meet the relevant requirements of GDC 17 are as follows: a. Regulatory Guide 1.9 as related to the design of the diesel air starting systems. b. Branch Technical Position ICSB-17 (PSB) as related to diesel engine air starting systems' protective
