to GDC 63. 3. The reviewer determines whether the safety function of the facility will be maintained, as required, if the facility is subjected to adverse natural phenomena of earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods. In this determination, the reviewer considers the following points: A. The facility design basis and criteria and the component classification tables are reviewed for whether the new and spent fuel storage facilities including the new fuel storage vault, spent fuel storage pool, pool liner, and new and spent fuel racks are classified and designed to seismic Category I requirements. B. If the spent fuel pool liner plate is not designed and constructed to seismic Category I requirements, the spent fuel pool liner plate is reviewed for whether a failure of the liner plate as a result of an SSE will not cause any of the following: i. Significant releases of radioactivity due to mechanical damage to the fuel. ii. Significant loss of water from the pool which could uncover the fuel and lead to release of radioactivity due to heat-up. iii. Loss of ability to cool the fuel due to flow blockage caused by a complete section or portion of the liner plate falling on the fuel racks. iv. Damage to safety-related equipment as a result of pool leakage. v. Uncontrolled release of significant quantities or radioactive fluids to the environs. 9.1.2-11 Revision 4 - March 2007 C. The essential portions of the new and spent fuel storage facilities are reviewed for protection from the effects of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and internally- or externally-generated missiles. Flood protection and missile protection criteria are addressed in the SRP Chapter 3 sections listed in the Review Interfaces subsection of this SRP section. The reviewer utilizes the information in those SRP sections, as appropriate, to validate the analyses presented. The reviewer accepts a statement to the effect that the storage facility is located in a seismic Category I structure that is
