inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the COL, the provisions of the AEA, and the NRC's regulations. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC=s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC=s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 8.3.1-9 Revision 4 - May 2010 In general, the onsite ac power system is acceptable when it can be concluded that this system has the required redundancy, meets the single failure criterion, is protected from the effects of postulated accidents, is testable, and has the capacity, capability, and reliability to supply power to all safety loads and other required equipment in accordance with GDCs 2, 4, 5, 17, 18, and 50. Table 8-1 of SRP 8.1 lists GDCs, regulations, RGs, and branch technical positions (BTPs) used as the bases for arriving at this conclusion. 1. GDC 2 is satisfied as it relates to SSCs of the onsite ac power system being capable of withstanding the effects of natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods, as established in Chapter 3 of the SAR, and reviewed by the organizations with primary responsibility for the reviews of plant systems, civil engineering and geosciences, and mechanical engineering. 2. GDC 4 is satisfied as it relates to SSCs of the ac power system being capable of withstanding the effects of missiles and environmental conditions associated with normal operation and postulated
