Utilization Facilities,” to determine its applicability to non-LWR designs. The NRC staff then determined what if any adaptation was appropriate for non-LWRs. The results are included in column 2 of the table below. The table also includes the NRC staff’s rationale for the adaptations. In many cases, the rationale refers to changes made to the language of the GDC. To fully understand the context of the rationale, the user of this RG should refer to the appropriate GDC. Where the NRC staff determined that the current GDC were applicable to the ARDC, the table denotes “Same as GDC.” The table consists of three columns: Column 1—Criterion Number Column 2—ARDC Title and Content Column 3—NRC Rationale for Adaptations to GDC The table is further divided into six sections similar to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A: Section I—Overall Requirements (Criterion 1 – 15) Section II – Multiple Barriers (Criterion 10 – 20) Section III – Reactivity Control (Criterion 21 – 29) Section IV – Fluid Systems (Criterion 30 – 46) Section V – Reactor Containment (Criterion 50 – 57) Section VI – Fuel and Radioactivity Control (Criterion 60 – 64) APPENDIX A. ADVANCED REACTOR DESIGN CRITERIA Appendix A to DG-1330, Page A-2 I. Overall Requirements Criterion ARDC Title and Content NRC Rationale for Adaptions to GDC 1 Quality standards and records. Same as GDC 2 Design bases for protection against natural phenomena. Same as GDC 3 Fire protection. Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions. Noncombustible and fire-resistant materials shall be used wherever practical throughout the unit, particularly in locations with structures, systems, or components important to safety. Fire detection and fighting systems of appropriate capacity and capability shall be provided and designed to minimize the adverse effects of fires on
