RITERIA CSB accepts the secondary containment functional design if the relevant require- ments of General Design Criteria 4, 16, and 45 and Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50 are complied with. The relevant requirements are as follows: A. General Design Criterion 4 as it relates to structures, systems and com- ponents important to safety being designed to accommodate the effects of normal operation, maintenance, testing and postulated accidents, and being protected against dynamic effects (e.g., the effects of missiles, pipe whipping, and discharging fluids) that may result from equipment failures. 6.2.3-2 Rev. 2 - July 1981 B. General Design Criterion 16 as it relates to reactor containment and asso- ciated systems being provided to establish an essentially leak-tight barriers against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the environment. C. General Design Criterion 43 as it relates to atmosphere cleanup systems having the design capability to permit periodic functional testing to assure system integrity, the operability of active components, and the operability of the system as a whole and the performance of the operational sequence that brings the system into operation. D. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J as it relates to the secondary containment being designed to permit preoperational and periodic leakage rate testing so that bypass leakage paths are identified. Specific criteria that pertain to design and functional capability of the secondary systems which are necessary to meet the relevant requirements of GDC 4, 16 and 43 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J are as follows: 1. In meeting the requirements of GDC 16 regarding functional capability of the secondary containment, the analysis of the pressure and temperature response of the secondary containment to a loss-of-coolant accident occur- ring in the primary containment should be based on the following guidelines: a. Heat transfer from the primary to secondary containment should be considered. (1) Heat transfer
