permit (ESP) or other NRC approvals (e.g., manufacturing license, site suitability report or topical report). 5. For review of both DC and COL applications, SRP Section 14.3 should be followed for the review of ITAAC. The review of ITAAC cannot be completed until after the completion of this section. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff’s safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. The new fuel storage facility includes the fuel assembly storage racks, the concrete storage vault that contains the storage racks, and the auxiliary components. The spent fuel storage facility includes the spent fuel storage racks, the spent fuel storage pool that contains the storage racks, and the associated equipment storage pits. On the basis of the review of the applicant’s proposed design criteria, design bases, and safety classification for the fresh and spent fuel storage facilities and the provisions necessary to maintain a subcritical array, the staff concludes that the design of the fresh and spent fuel storage facilities and supporting systems is in conformance with the Commission’s regulations in GDC 62 and in 10 CFR 50.68. This conclusion is based on the following: 1. The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 62 pertaining to criticality because the fuel will remain subcritical under all normal and credible abnormal conditions. 2. The applicant has met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.68 by either (1) installation and maintenance of a monitoring system capable of detecting a criticality accident, as described in 10 CFR 70.24, or (2) compliance with the additional design and analysis requirements specified in 10 CFR 50.68. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g.,
