quirements, the spent fuel pool liner plate is reviewed to verify that a failure of the liner plate as a result of an SSE will not cause any of the following:1 1. Significant releases of radioactivity due to mechanical damage to the fuel; 2. Significant loss of water from the pool which could uncover the fuel and lead to release of radioactivity due to heatup; 3. Loss of ability to cool the fuel due to flow blockage caused by a portion or one complete section of the liner plate falling on top of the fuel racks; 4. Damage to safety-related equipment as a result of the pool leakage, and 5. Uncontrolled release of significant quantities or radioactive fluids to the environs. DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 9.1.2-10 c. The essential portions of the spent fuel storage system are reviewed to verify that protection from the effects of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and internally or externally generated missiles is provided. Flood protection and missile protection criteria are discussed in sections of the SRP contained in Chapter 3. The reviewer utilizes the information in those SRP sections, as appropriate, to assureensure that 64 the analyses presented are valid. ASBSPLB will accept a statement to the effect 65 that the storage facility is located in a seismic Category I structure that is missile and flood protected. 4. The safe handling of spent fuel assemblies necessitates the underwater transfer of spent fuel between the respective areas of the plant including spent fuel cask loading area. The SAR is reviewed to verify that the design basis and facility description section has stated that a separate spent fuel shipping cask loading area (pit) has been provided adjacent to the spent fuel pool. The reviewer verifies that the loading pit has been designed so that the safety function of the integrated system will be maintained during adverse environmental conditions. In addition, the reviewer verifies that the following are included in the design: a. An interconnecting fuel
