REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Auxiliary Systems Branch (ASB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The function of the spent fuel pool area ventilation system (SFPAVS) is to maintain ventilation in the spent fuel pool equipment areas, to permit personnel access, and to control airborne radioactivity in the area during normal operation, anticipated operational transients, and following postulated fuel handling accidents. The ASB reviews the SFPAVS from air intake to the point of discharge where the sys- tem connects to the gaseous cleanup and treatment system or the station vents to assure conformance with the requirements of General Design Criteria 2, 60, and 6'. | The review includes components such as air intakes, ducts, air conditioning units, filters, blowers, isolation dampers, and exhaust fans. The review of the SFPAVS covers all areas containing or adjacent to the spent fuel pool, including the spent fuel cooling pump room. 1. The ASB reviews the SFPAVS to determine the safety significance of the system. Based on this determination, the safety-related part of the system is reviewed with respect to functional performance requirements during normal operation, during adverse environmental occurrences, and subsequent to postulated acci- dents, including the loss of offsite power. The ASB reviews safety-related portions of the system to assure that: a. A single active failure cannot result in loss of the system functional performance capability. b. Failures of nonseismic Category I equipment or components will not affect the SFPAVS. 2. The ASB also reviews safety-related portions of the SFPAVS with respect to the following: 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.
