of this SRP section. The secondary review branch, CMEB,EMCB, will provide an input on a routine basis for those areas of review indicated in 55 DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 9.1.2-8 this SRP section. The primary reviewer (ASBSPLB) obtains and uses such input as required to 56 assureensure that this review procedure is complete. 57 The review procedures given below are for a typical storage system. Any variance of the review, to take account of a proposed unique design, will be such as to assureensure that the 58 facility design conforms to the criteria in subsection II of this SRP section. The reviewer selects and emphasizes material from this SRP section as may be appropriate for a particular case. 1. The SAR is reviewed to determine that the design bases and facility description section indicates the storage capacity provided in the design. The minimum storage capacity in the spent fuel storage pool shall be in accordance with ANS 57.2 paragraph 5.1.15, i.e., for a single unit facility the storage capacity shall equal or exceed one full core discharge plus the maximum normal fuel discharge cycle; for a dual shared storage pool facility the storage capacity shall equal or exceed one full core discharge plus two normal fuel discharge cycles. Due to a lack of sufficient away-from-reactor (AFR) storage capacity, the industry trend has been to use high density storage racks. ASB SPLB reviews high density storage on a case-by-case basis. Low-density storage should 59 be used, at a minimum, for the most recently discharged fuel to decrease the probability of igniting the zircaloy cladding in the event of draining the spent fuel pool.60 2. The information provided in the SAR relating to the facility design criteria, safety evaluation, system description, and the layout drawings for the spent fuel pool and storage racks is reviewed to verify that: a. Criticality information (including the associated assumptions and input parameters) in the SAR must show that the
