ified above the acceptance criteria and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP sections of the corresponding primary branch.11 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance criteria for the fission product cleanup function of the ice condenser system are based on the relevant requirements of the following regulations: A. General Design Criterion 41 (Ref. 1) as it relates to containment atmosphere cleanup 12 systems being designed to control fission products that may be released to the reactor containment following postulated accidents. B. General Design Criterion 42 (Ref. 2) as it relates to containment atmosphere cleanup 13 systems being designed to permit appropriate periodic inspections. C. General Design Criterion 43 (Ref. 3) as it relates to containment atmosphere cleanup 14 systems being designed to permit appropriate periodic functional testing. Specific criteria necessary to meet the relevant requirements of General Design Criteria 41, 42, and 43 include: 1. The ice condenser system is acceptable for elemental iodine removal if the ice contains a quantity of the proposed chemical additive sufficient to ensure that the pH of the post-accident recirculating solution is above 7 (Reference. 4 7) . 15 2. The technical specifications are acceptable if they specify appropriate limiting conditions for operations, tests, and inspections to ensure that the system is capable of its design function whenever the reactor is critical. These specifications should include: the operability requirements for the system, and periodic sampling and testing requirements of the ice to confirm that the concentration of the chemical additive in the ice melt is within the limits established by the system design. While granting credit for ice condenser scrubbing of fission products in the calculations of accident doses, the acceptance criteria of containment leakage in SRP Section 6.2.1.1.B and the acceptance criteria of the engineered safety feature atmosphere
