Content:
applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. On the basis of the staff’s detailed review and evaluation of the station blackout capability described in the SAR for (Facility) , the staff concludes that the (applicant/licensee) has appropriately evaluated the facility against the guidelines of RG 1.155 and this SRP section. Alternatives to or differences from these recommendations, as described in the applicable section of this safety evaluation, are acceptable. The SAR acceptably demonstrates that the plant is in compliance with the provisions of GDC 17 and 18 and 10 CFR 50.63, as they relate to the capability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown (non-DBA) in the event of a station blackout. Accordingly, the staff concludes that the plant design is acceptable and meets the requirements of GDC 17 and 18 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, as they relate to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.63 and 10 CFR 50.65. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. In addition, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other SER sections, the findings will summarize the staff's evaluation of the ITAAC, including design acceptance criteria, as applicable. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations.
