uids. These tanks have the potential for uncontrolled releases of radioactive materials attributable to spillage. Through its connections with the reactor coolant system (in boiling-water reactors) or secondary coolant system (in pressurized-water reactors), the CSF potentially contains radioactive material. Meeting the requirements of GDC 60 ensures that radiation exposures for operating personnel and the general public are as low as is reasonably achievable. Regulatory Guide 1.143 provides specific guidance for 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 imposes explicit requirements on the plant regarding the capability to ensure that the core is cooled in the event of an SBO. The criteria in 10 CFR 50.63 apply to the CSF in those plants for which the plant design includes this system to support the plant in its response to an SBO. In those plants, the CSF provides a source of water for removal of decay heat. The CSF capability (e.g., to serve as a water supply from which flow may be delivered as needed) and capacity must meet the decay heat removal requirements of the plant for the SBO event. Regulatory Guide 1.155 provides specific guidance for meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.63. Application of the criteria of 10 CFR 50.63 to the CSF ensures that the capacity of the CSF is adequate and that the CSF is capable of providing needed functions to support decay heat removal and to ensure adequate core cooling during an SBO. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives to the SRP criteria provide an acceptable
