ion 7.6, reviews the ade- quacy of controls and instrumentation for the automatic and manual actuation of overpressure protection components. The Technical Specifications Branch (OTSB), as part of its primary review respon- sibility for SRP Section 16.0, reviews technical specifications. The Performance and Quality Evaluation Branch (PQEB), as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Sections 17.1 and 17.2, reviews quality assurance requirements. For those areas of review identified above as being reviewed as part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria neces- sary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the refer- enced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The SRXB acceptance criteria for the overpressure protection system are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following regulations: 1. General Design Criterion 15, as it relates to the reactor coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems being designed with sufficient margin to assure that the design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 2. General Design Criterion 31, as it relates to the reactor coolant pressure boundary being designed with sufficient margin to assure that boundary behaves in a nonbrittle manner and the probability of rapidly propagating fracture is minimized. Applications for construction permit should meet recommendations of Task Action Plan items II.D.1 and 1I.D.3 of NUREG-0718 (Ref. 4). Applications for operat- ing license shall meet recommendations of Task Action Plan items II.D.1 and II.D.3 of NUREG-0737 (Ref. 5). Other specific acceptance criteria necessary to meet the requirements of GDC 15 and 32 are as follows: A. For overpressure protection, during power operation of the reactor, the relief valves shall be designed
