iated systems, structures, and components will continue to perform their required safety functions when the LLHS is shared among nuclear power units such that, in the event of an accident in one unit, an orderly shutdown and cooldown will not be prevented in the remaining units.21 3. Compliance with GDC 61 requires, in part, that fuel storage and handling, radioactive waste, and other systems that may contain radioactive materials be designed to ensure adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions. GDC 61 requires that the LLHS be designed to ensure safe fuel handling and storage under accident and normal conditions. SRP Section 9.1.4 is concerned with handling fuel and spent fuel, which, if dropped, mishandled or damaged, could cause criticality accidents and subsequent releases of radioactive materials potentially resulting in unacceptable personnel radiation exposures. SRP Section 9.1.4 cites Regulatory Guide 1.13, position C.3, and ANS 57.1/ANSI-N208 to provide guidance for meeting these requirements. Meeting this requirement provides assurance that criticality accidents, releases of radioactive materials resulting from damage to irradiated fuel, and unacceptable personnel radiation exposures will be avoided.22 4. Compliance with GDC 62 requires that criticality in the fuel handling and storage system be prevented by physical systems or processes, preferably by use of geometrically safe configurations. The requirements of GDC 62 are imposed to ensure that fuel handling and storage structures, systems, and components will be controlled to ensure that criticality will not be reached, thereby ensuring the safety of the public. SRP Section 9.1.4 cites Regulatory Guide 1.13, position C.3, and ANS 57.1/ANSI-N208 to provide guidance in meeting these requirements. Meeting these requirements provides assurance that the LLHS will be operate under adequately safe conditions structurally, procedurally, and under geometrically safe conditions to avoid
