the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Informa- tion and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Washington. D.C. 2C6 The methodology used in this SRP section is not intended for containment venting evaluation. Containment venting will be considered in the evaluation of pressure suppression pools as fission product cleanup systems when the Commission approves the final guidance on containment venting. 3. System Design The information on the design of the suppression pool is reviewed to familiarize the reviewer with the expected temperature histories, depth of fission product entry expected during postulated accidents, and potential leakage paths through drywell penetrations. 4. Testing and Technical Specifications The details of the applicant's proposed preoperational tests and, at the operating license stage, the surveillance requirements are reviewed to ensure that the pool depth and amount of leakage bypass- ing the pool are maintained consistent with the assumptions used in assessing the pool's effectiveness in fission product cleanup. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance criteria for the fission product cleanup function of the sup- pression pool are based on the relevant requirements of the following regulations: A. General Design Criterion 41 (Ref. 1) as it relates to the control of fission products following postulated accidents. B. General Design
