unctions. This SRP section describes staff positions related to the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system, whose safety function is to ensure that no single failure will prevent the system from cooling the spent fuel. Meeting the requirements of GDC 5 provides assurance that components of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system will be designed to accommodate shared systems, structures and components such that no single failure will prevent the system from performing its safety function. 4. Compliance with GDC 61 requires that the fuel storage system be designed to ensure adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions. The system shall be designed with: the capability to permit appropriate periodic inspection and testing of components important to safety; suitable shielding for radiation protection; appropriate containment, confinement and filtering capability; residual heat removal that reflects the importance to safety of decay heat and other residual heat removal; and the capability to prevent a significant reduction in fuel storage coolant inventory under accident conditions. This SRP section describes staff positions related to the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system, including provisions for inspection and testing, containment and confinement, residual heat removal, maintenance of an adequate coolant inventory under accident conditions, and shielding and filtration capability to reduce occupational exposure to radiation. Provisions for inspection and testing are satisfied by designing essential portions of the cooling system to Quality Group C criteria. Provisions for containment are satisfied by provisions to collect and isolate leakage. Provisions for residual heat removal that reflect its importance to safety are satisfied by (1) designing essential portions of the cooling system to seismic Category I criteria and with adequate cooling capacity assuming a single active failure, and (2)
