hat are necessary and sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that, if the inspections, tests, and analyses are performed and the acceptance criteria met, the facility has been constructed and will operate in conformity with the combined license, the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, 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 9.2.4-3 Revision 3 - March 2007 and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 1. Control of Releases of Radioactive Materials to the PWSW. Information that addresses the requirements of GDC 60 in regards to controlling radioactive effluent releases is considered acceptable if the following are met: A. There are no interconnections between the PSWS and systems having the potential for containing radioactive material. B. The potable water system is protected by an air gap, where necessary. C. An evaluation of potential radiological contamination, including accidental, and safety implications of sharing (for multi-unit facilities) indicates that the system will not result in contamination beyond acceptable limits. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with GDC 60 requires that the nuclear power unit design include, among other things, a suitable means to control the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents.
