ned to nonnuclear safety, Quality Group D, requirements since it is not necessary for safe shutdown, accident prevention, or accident mitigation. Based on the review of the applicant's proposed design criteria and bases for the circulating water system, the staff concludes that the design of the circulating water system is acceptable and meets the requirements of General Design Criterion 4. This conclusion is based on the following: 10.4.5-5 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 The applicant has met the requirements of General Design Criterion 4 with respect to the effects of discharging water that may result from a failure of a component or piping in the CWS. Acceptance is based on provisions of the design that prevent flooding of safety-related areas so that the intended safety function of a system or component will not be precluded due to leakage from the CWS; or provisions of the design that detect and control flooding of safety-related areas so that the intended safety function of a system or component will not be precluded due to leakage from the CWS; or provisions of the design such that malfunction of a component or piping of the CWS, including an expansion joint, will not have unacceptable adverse effects on the functional performance capabilities of safety-related systems or components. For design certification reviews, the findings will also summarize, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other safety evaluation report sections, the staff’s evaluation of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), including design acceptance criteria (DAC), site interface requirements, and combined license action items that are relevant to this SRP section.31 V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. This SRP section will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10
