REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Power Systems Branch (PSB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The PSB review of the communication system is limited to that portion of the system used in intra-plant and plant-to-offsite communications during transient, fire and accident conditions. The system is reviewed with respect to the following considera- tions: capability of the system to provide effective intra-plant communications and effective plant-to-offsite communications during normal plant operations and during transient, fire, and accident conditions, including loss of offsite power. In the review of the communication system, the PSB will coordinate evaluations of other branches that interface with the overall review of the system as follows: The Emergency Preparedness Licensing Branch verifies that the offsite communication system provided will satisfy emergency plan requirements for accident conditions, including notification of personnel and implementation of evacuation procedures as part of their primary review responsibility for SRP Section 13.3. The Procedures and Test Review Branch determines the acceptability of the preoperational and startup tests as part of their primary review responsibility for SRP Section 14.0. The review for fire protection is coordinated and performed by the Chemical Engineer- ing Branch as part of its primary review responsibility for SRP Section 9.5.1. For those areas of review identified above that are part of the primary review responsibility of other branches, the acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections.
