and functional testing to assure the structural and leak-tight integrity of its components. The CSF can be included in the plant design to provide a source of cooling of the reactor core. This testing is to include the operability and the performance of the active components of the system, and the operability of the system as a whole. By designing the CSF to allow for testing to detect degradation in performance or the system pressure boundary and compliance with GDC 45 assures that the CSF will reliably function to provide cooling to safety-related equipment and decay heat removal. 9.2.6-7 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 6. GDC 60 requires that nuclear power unit design include means to control the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents produced during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. The criteria in General Design Criteria 60 apply to all tanks located outside the reactor containment and containing radioactive materials in liquids. These tanks have the potential for uncontrolled releases of radioactive materials due to spillage. Through its connections with the reactor coolant system (BWRs) or secondary coolant system (PWRs), the CSF potentially contains radioactive material. Meeting GDC 60 assures that radiation exposure to operating personnel and the general public are as low as reasonably achievable. Regulatory Guide 1.143 provides specific guidance for the implementing GDC 60. Compliance with this Regulatory Guide provides assurance that the design of the CSF will include features to prevent uncontrolled releases of radioactive material. 7. 10 CFR 50.63 invokes explicit requirements on the plant regarding the capability to ensure that the core is cooled in the event of a station blackout. The criteria in 10 CFR 50.63 apply to the CSF in those plants where the plant design includes this system for support to the plant in its response to a station blackout. In those plants, the CSF provides a source of water for
