the procedures in SRP Section 14.3 (proposed), to verify that the design set forth in the standard safety analysis report, including inspections, tests, analysis, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), site interface requirements and combined license action items, meet the acceptance criteria given in subsection II. SRP Section 14.3 (proposed) contains procedures for the review of certified design material (CDM) for the standard design, including the site parameters, interface criteria, and ITAAC.14 IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that sufficient information has been provided and that the review supports the following kind of statement, to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The staff has evaluated the consequences of a spectrum of postulated fuel-loading errors. We conclude that the analyses provided by the applicant have shown for each case considered that either the error is detectable by the available instrumentation (and hence remediable) or the error is undetectable but the offsite consequences of any fuel rod failures are a small fraction of 10 CFR Part 100 guidelines. The applicant affirms that the available incore instrumentation will be used before the start of a fuel cycle to search for fuel-loading errors. The staff concludes that the requirements of General Design Criterion 13 and 10 CFR Part 100 have been met. This conclusion is based on the following: The applicant has met the requirements of GDC 13 with respect to providing adequate provisions to minimize the potential of a misloaded fuel assembly going undetected and meets 10 CFR Part 100 with respect to mitigating the consequences of reactor operations with a misloaded fuel assembly. These requirements have been met by providing acceptable procedures and design features that will minimize the likelihood of loading fuel in a location other than its designated place. For design certification reviews, the findings will also summarize, to the extent that the review is not
