or coolant system and associated auxiliary, control, and protection systems be designed with sufficient margin to ensure that the design conditions of the RCPB are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. 6. GDC 37 requires, in part, that the emergency core cooling system be designed to permit appropriate periodic pressure and functional testing to ensure the leak tight integrity of its components as well as the operability and performance of the active components of the system. The acceptance criteria in SRP Section 3.9.6 cite ISTs required by the OM Code as well as other preservice and inservice tests for pumps and valves to ensure their leak tight integrity and their operability and performance. This testing specifically applies to pumps and valves in the emergency core cooling system within the scope of the IST program, and is intended to meet the requirements of GDC 37. Meeting the requirements of GDC 37 provides assurance that Emergency Core Cooling System pumps and valves important to safety are capable of performing their intended safety function. 7. GDC 40 requires, in part, that the containment heat removal system be designed to permit appropriate periodic pressure and functional testing to ensure the leak tight integrity of its components as well as the operability and performance of the active components of the system. The acceptance criteria in SRP Section 3.9.6 cite ISTs required by the OM Code as well as other preservice and inservice tests for pumps and valves to ensure their leak tight integrity and their operability and performance. This testing specifically applies to pumps and valves in the containment heat removal system within the scope of the IST program, and is intended to meet the requirements of GDC 40.
