Content:
escription of the event under SRP Chapter 8. • Plant operating procedures are reviewed to verify they include appropriate actions as to a reactor coolant pump trip after the inadvertent opening of a PWR pressure relief valve as described in Generic Letters 85-12, 86-05, and 86-06 under SRP Chapter 18. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Acceptance criteria are based on meeting the relevant requirements of the following Commission regulations: 1. General Design Criterion (GDC) 10, as it relates to designing the RCS with appropriate margin to assure that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded during normal operations, including AOOs. 2. GDC 13, as it relates to providing instrumentation to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges for normal operation to assure adequate safety, and to providing appropriate controls to maintain these variables and systems within prescribed operating ranges. 3. GDC 15, as it relates to designing the RCS and associated auxiliary systems with sufficient margin to assure that the design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded during normal operations, including AOOs. 4. GDC 26, as it relates to providing a reactivity control system capable of reliably controlling reactivity changes during manual operations and AOOs so the specified fuel design limits are not exceeded. 1 For 10 CFR Part 50 applicants not listed in 10 CFR 50.34(f), the portions of 10 CFR 50.34(f) will be made a requirement during the licensing process. 15.6.1-4 Revision 2 - March 2007 5. 10 CFR 52.47(a) and 52.79(a), as they relate to demonstrating compliance with any technically relevant portions of the Three Mile Island (TMI)-related requirements set forth in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(1)(vi) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(1)(iii), for DC and COL reviews, respectively.1 SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria
