conditions that could result in the loss of decay heat removal, to detect excessive radiation levels, and to initiate appropriate safety actions. i. 10 CFR Part 20, paragraph 20.1(c) 20.1101(b) as it relates to radiation doses 74 being kept as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). In meeting this regulation, Regulatory Guide 8.8, positions C.2.f(2) and C.2.f(3) will be used as 75 a basis for acceptance. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to reviewing spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system is discussed in the following paragraphs:76 A. Compliance with GDC 2 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to withstand the effects of expected natural phenomena combined with the appropriate effects of normal and accident conditions without loss of capability to perform their safety functions. This SRP section describes staff positions related to the design of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system and cites Regulatory Guide 1.13 to describe the design basis, Regulatory Guide 1.26 to describe quality group classifications, and Regulatory Guide 1.29 to describe seismic design classifications. These positions describe the design bases needed to resist expected natural phenomena combined with the appropriate effects of normal and accident conditions. Meeting the requirements of GDC 2 provides assurance that components of the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup system will be designed to withstand the effects of expected natural phenomena and will be capable of performing their intended safety functions.77 B. Compliance with GDC 4 requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed to accommodate the effects of, and be compatible with, environmental conditions associated with normal operation, maintenance, testing, and postulated accidents, including loss-of-coolant accidents and dynamic effects resulting from pipe whip, missiles, and
