REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Nuclear reactor plants include storage facilities for the storage of new fuel. The quantity of new fuel to be stored varies from plant to plant, depending upon the specific design of the plant and.the individual refueling requirements. The ASB verifies that the storage facility maintains the new fuel in a subcritical array during all credible storage conditions in accordance with General Design Criteria 2, 5, 61, and 62. The ASB reviews the new fuel storage facility design including the fuel assembly storage racks and storage vault with respect to the following: 1. The quantity of fuel to be stored. 2. The design and arrangement of the storage racks for maintaining a subcritical array during all storage conditions. 3. The degree of subcriticality, and the supporting analysis and associated assumptions. 4. The effects of external loads and forces on the new fuel storage racks and vault (e.g., safe shutdown earthquake, crane uplift forces). 5. The effects of sharing in multi-unit complexes, and failures of other plant equipment close to the new storage facility. 6. ASB also performs the following reviews under the SRP sections indicated. (a) Review of flood protection is performed under SRP Section 3.4.1, (b) Review of the protection against internally generated missiles is per- formed under SRP Section 3.5.1.1, Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to Inform the nuclear industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commissions regulations and compliance with them is not required The standard
