for SRP Section 18.0 (proposed).8 For those areas of review identified above as being part of the review under other SRP sections, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP sections.9 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptability of the design of the normal and emergency lighting systems, as described in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR), is based in part on the degree of similarity of the systems design with those for previously reviewed plants with satisfactory operating experience. There are no general design criteria or regulatory guides that directly apply to the safety-related performance requirements for the lighting system. The PSBEELB will use the following 10 criteria to assess the systems' design capability: (1) the normal lighting system(s) is acceptable 11 if the integrated design of the system(s) will provide adequate station lighting in all areas, from offsite power sources, required for normal plant operation, control and maintenance of equipment and plant access routes; (2) the emergency lighting system(s) is acceptable if the integrated design of the system(s) will provide adequate emergency station lighting in all areas, from onsite power sources, required for fire fighting, control and maintenance of safety-related 12 equipment, and the access routes to and from these areas; and (3) the lighting systems designs will be acceptable if they conform to the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Lighting Handbook (Reference 2) as related to systems design and illumination levels 13 recommended for industrial facilities. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The information provided in the SAR pertaining to the designs of the normal and emergency lighting systems is evaluated to determine that the lighting in normal plant areas and in vitalall plant areas and essential passagewaysaccess routes to and from these areas is adequate. 14 15 Engineering judgment, in
