section describes staff positions and is intended to ensure that systems are provided to maintain adequate core cooling. Meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46(b)(5) with regard to long-term cooling provides assurance that core temperature will be maintained at acceptably low levels after any LOCA. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. 6.2.2-7 Revision 5 - March 2007 These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. The procedures described below provide guidance for the review of containment heat removal systems. The reviewer selects and emphasizes material from the review procedures as may be appropriate for a particular case. Portions of the review may be done on a generic basis for aspects of heat removal systems common to a class of containments or by adopting the results of previous reviews of plants with essentially the same system. 1. Upon request from the primary review organization, the review organizations with review interface responsibilities, as noted in Subsection I, will provide input for the areas of review, as stated in Subsection I of this SRP section. The input obtained will ensure that the review is complete. The primary review organization ensures that the design and functional capability of the containment heat removal system conforms to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46(b)(5) and GDC 38, 39, and 40. 2. The acceptability of the containment heat removal system design is determined by reviewing the system to ensure the following: A. All potential single failures have been identified in accordance with GDC 38, and no single failure could incapacitate the entire system. B. Engineered
