ms over their anticipated ranges for accident conditions, as appropriate, to ensure adequate safety. GDC 19, “Control Room,” requires in part that a control room be provided from which actions can be taken to maintain the nuclear power unit in a safe condition under accident conditions, including loss-of-coolant accidents. It also requires that equipment, including the necessary instrumentation, be provided at appropriate locations outside the control room and that such equipment have a design capability for prompt, hot shutdown of the reactor. GDC 64, “Monitoring Radioactivity Releases,” requires in part that means be provided to monitor (1) the reactor containment atmosphere, (2) spaces containing components for recirculation of loss-of-coolant accident fluids, (3) effluent discharge paths, and (4) the plant environs for radioactivity that may be released from postulated accidents. 2. Relevant Guidance RG 1.97 describes a method acceptable to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff for providing instrumentation to monitor variables for accident conditions. Plants that obtained an operating license after June 2006 should reference the guidance of RG 1.97, Revision 4. BTP 7-10-3 Revision 6 - August 2016 For plants with operating licenses issued before June 2006, RG 1.97, Revisions 2 and 3, are still effective. Licensees of these plants may, however, convert to the criteria of Revision 4 or use the criteria of Revision 4 when making modifications that do not involve a conversion. The guidance contained in Regulatory Position 1 of RG 1.97, Revision 4, should be followed in these cases. See the “Conversion to Revision 4” discussion in section B.3 of this BTP for additional information. 3. Purpose The purpose of this BTP is to provide additional guidance for NRC reviewers to verify that the previously cited regulatory bases are met by an applicant’s or licensee’s submittal. This BTP’s objectives are: • Clarify the staff position on
