CRITERIA Acceptabilitynce criteria is based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following 22 regulations: 1. General Design Criterion 1, and the pertinent quality assurance requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, as they relate to applying quality assurance requirements to activities affecting the safety-related functions of SSCs designated as seismic Category I commensurate with their importance to safety.23 12. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2, as it relates to the 24 25 requirements that SSCsstructures, systems, and components important to safety shall be 26 designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes without loss of capability to perform necessary safety functions. 3. General Design Criterion 61, as it relates to the design of radioactive waste systems, and other systems which may contain radioactivity, to assure adequate safety under normal and postulated accident conditions.27 24. 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, as it relates to certain SSCsstructures, systems, and 28 components being designed to withstand the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) and 29 remain functional. These plant features are those necessary to assure: a. the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, b. the capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, c. the capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposures of 10 CFR Part 100.30 DRAFT Rev. 2 - April 1996 3.2.1-4 To meet the requirements of General Design Criterion 2 and 10 CFR Part 100, Appendix A, the following regulatory guide is used: Regulatory Guide 1.29, "Seismic Design Classification" is used. This guide describes an acceptable method of identifying and classifying those plant 31 features that should be designed to withstand the effects of the SSE. Regulatory Guide 1.151 provides guidance with regard to seismic design requirements and classification of
