n exceeding fuel design limits. The reviewer evaluates the models for determining the values of the fuel design parameters during such accidents to ensure that the limits will not be exceeded. Meeting this criterion provides assurance that anticipated operational occurrences will not result in fuel damage and subsequent fission product release.43 2. Compliance with GDC 15 requires that the reactor coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems be designed with sufficient margin to ensure that the design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded during anticipated operational occurrences. The requirements of GDC 15 apply to this section because the reviewer evaluates certain events occurring with moderate frequency and having the potential to cause pressure transients. The reviewer evaluates the models used by the applicant to determine resultant coolant pressures and determines that pressures will stay within limits that preclude damage to the pressure boundary. Meeting this criterion provides assurance that anticipated operational occurrences will not result in damage to the reactor coolant pressure boundary and subsequent fission product release.44 3. Compliance with GDC 17 requires that onsite and offsite electrical power systems be provided to ensure that structures, systems, and components important to safety will perform their intended function. Each power system (assuming the other system is not functioning) shall provide sufficient capacity and capability to ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits and design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded as a result of anticipated operational occurrences. GDC 17 is applicable to SRP Section 15.5.1-15.5.2 because this section reviews the analysis of a group of abnormal operating occurrences to which the GDC must be applied. Meeting the requirements of GDC 17 provides assurance that specified acceptable fuel design limits
