REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - AuxiliaryPlant Systems Branch (ASBSPLB)1 Secondary - NoneCivil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB)2 Reactor Systems Branch (SRXB)3 I. AREAS OF REVIEW Nuclear reactor plants include storage facilities for the storage of new fuel. The quantity of new fuel to be stored varies from plant to plant, depending upon the specific design of the plant and the individual refueling requirements. The ASBSPLB verifies that the storage facility 4 maintains the new fuel in a subcritical array during all credible storage conditions in accordance with General Design Criteria 2, 5, 61, and 62. The ASBSPLB reviews the new fuel storage 5 facility design including the fuel assembly storage racks and storage vault with respect to the following: 1. The quantity of fuel to be stored. 2. The design and arrangement of the storage racks for maintaining a subcritical array during all storage conditions. 3. The degree of subcriticality, and the supporting analysis and associated assumptions. 4. The effects of external loads and forces on the new fuel storage racks and vault (e.g., safe shutdown earthquake, crane uplift forces). DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 9.1.1-2 5. The effects of sharing in multi-unit complexes, and failures of other plant equipment close to the new storage facility. Review Interfaces6 1. ASBSPLB also performs the following reviews under the Standard Review Plan (SRP) 7 8 sections indicated. (a)a. Review of flood protection is performed under SRP Section 3.4.1, 9 (b.) Review of the protection against internally generated missiles is performed under SRP Section 3.5.1.1, (c.) Review of structures, systems, and components to be protected against externally generated missiles is performed under SRP Section 3.5.2, and (d.) Review of high and moderate energy pipe breaks as performed under SRP Section 3.6.1. e. Review of equipment qualification is performed under SRP Section 3.11.10 f. Review of fire protection is performed under SRP Section
