ossible or can be reliably and readily detected and suppressed 4. GDC 14, as it relates to ensuring an extremely low probability of failure of the coolant pressure boundary 5. GDC 16, as it relates to ensuring that containment design conditions important to safety are not exceeded as a result of postulated accidents 6. GDC 35, as it relates to ensuring that fuel and clad damage, should it occur, must not interfere with continued effective core cooling, and that clad metal-water reactor must be limited to negligible amounts 7. GDC 38, as it relates to ensuring that the containment pressure and temperature are maintained at acceptably low levels following any accident that deposits reactor coolant in the containment 8. GDC 50, as it relates to ensuring that the containment does not exceed the design leakage rate when subjected to the calculated pressure and temperature conditions resulting from any accident that deposits reactor coolant in the containment. Specific Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the NRC’s regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. 15.8-4 Revision 2 - March 2007 The rule specifies that light water reactors must have a number of prescribed systems, and equipment that are design-dependent, and have been proven to reduce the risk attributable to the ATWS events, to an acceptable level. In addition, the applicants must submit information sufficient to demonstrate the adequacy of the implemented ATWS features. Design
