ign for protection against postulated piping failures outside containment is acceptable and meets the requirements of General Design Criterion 4 with respect to accommodating the effects of postulated pipe ruptures. The applicant has met the requirement of General Design Criterion 4 with respect to postulated pipe ruptures by conforming to Branch Technical Position SPLB 3-1. For design certification reviews, the findings will also summarize, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other safety evaluation report sections, the staff’s evaluation of inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), including design acceptance criteria (DAC), site interface requirements, and combined license action items that are relevant to this SRP section.22 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 3.6.1-10 V. IMPLEMENTATION The following is intended to provide guidance to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. This SRP section will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR 50 or 10 CFR 52. Except in those 23 cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications docketed six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section.24 Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced Branch Technical Positions.
