lity assurance is coordinated and performed by the Quality Assurance BranchHQMB as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 17. 17 10.4.1-3 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 E. The Mechanical Engineering Branch (EMEB) determines that the appropriate seismic and quality group classifications have been established for system components as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.18 F. The Civil Engineering and Geosciences Branch (ECGB) performs a seismic analysis of the condenser, if required, as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 3.7.2.19 For those areas of review identified above as being part of the primary review responsibility of 20 the other branches, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section of corresponding primary review21 branches. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptability of the design of the main condenser system, as described in the applicant's safety analysis report (SAR), is based on meeting the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 (GDC 60) and on the similarity of the design to that of plants previously reviewed and found acceptable. The design of the Main Condenser System is acceptable if the integrated design of the system meets the requirements of GDC 60 as related to failures in the design of the system which do not result in excessive releases of radioactivity to the environment. In addition, GDC 60 is satisfied if the system is designed such that failures do not cause unacceptable condensate quality, or flooding of areas housing safety-related equipment. For new BWR plants that do not incorporate an MSIVLCS and for which Main Condenser holdup and plateout of fission products is credited in the analysis of design basis accident radiological consequences, guidance from SECY 93-087 (Reference 4) is applicable as follows: A seismic analysis should be performed to ensure that the condenser anchorages
