(s) and components assumed to have failed in the consequence analysis. If not, the applicant is should revise the consequence analysis using updated land-use information and define a new maximum total inventory of radioactivity for such a tank(s) and components. Appendix B to this BTP supersedes the corresponding guidance described in Section 4.4 of NUREG-0133 as indicated in the statement of applicability. The guidance of Section 4.4 of NUREG-0133 remains in effect for 10 CFR Part 50 licensees and 10 CFR Part 52 applicants and license holders that have incorporated the guidance of Section 4.4 of NUREG-0133 in their current licensing basis prior to the conditions noted in the statement of applicability. BTP 11-6-14 Revision 4 – January 2016 C. TECHNICAL RATIONALE The technical rationale for these acceptance criteria applied in reviewing the postulated radioactive releases due to liquid-containing tank and component failures is as follows: 1. Compliance with GDC 2, GDC 60, GDC 61 and GDC 64 require, in part, that the nuclear power plant design shall include means to control and monitor releases of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents, and provide adequate safety during normal reactor operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. GDC 2 and GDC 61 are applicable because these SRP sections are concerned with tanks and associated components outside of containment or outdoors that could contain radioactive liquids. A single failure of one of these tanks and components could release radioactive liquids to surface water or groundwater and potentially impact the public and result in unnecessary radiation exposures. GDC 60 and GDC 64 are applicable to this BTP because this section is concerned with tanks and associated components outside of containment that could contain radioactive liquids. A single failure of these tanks could release radioactive liquids to surface water or ground water and potentially impact public health and safety.
