Content:
y of other branches, the acceptance criteria neces- sary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of the corresponding primary branch. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA CSB acceptance criteria are based on meeting the following regulations: 1. General Design Criterion (GDC) 16, as it relates to the reactor containment and associated systems being designed to assure that containment design conditions important to safety are not exceeded for as long as postulated accident conditions require. Since the primary reactor containment is the final barrier of the defense-in-depth concept to protect against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the environs, preserving contain- ment integrity under the dynamic conditions imposed by postulated loss of coolant accidents is essential. 2. General Design Criterion 50, as it relates to the reactor containment struc- ture and associated heat removal system(s) being designed so that the contain- ment structure and its internal compartments can accommodate the calculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from any loss-of-coolant acci- dent without exceeding the design leakage rate and with sufficient margin. 3. General Design Criterion 38, as it relates to the containment heat removal system(s) function to rapidly reduce the containment pressure and tempera- ture following any loss-of-coolant accident and maintain them at acceptably low levels. 4. General Design Criterion 13, as it relates to instrumentation and control, requires instrumentation be provided to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges for normal operation and for accident conditions as appropriate to assure adequate safety. 5. General Design Criterion 64, as it relates to monitoring radioactivity releases, requires means be provided for monitoring the reactor containment atmosphere for radioactivity that may be released from normal operations and from postulated accidents.
