ng primary system gases during an accident. Compliance with GDC 19 will provide assurance that control room operability is preserved such that the RCS vents can be operated during an accident, thereby ensuring that core cooling is maintained. 8. GDC 32 requires components that are part of the RCPB to be designed to permit periodic inspection and testing to assess their structural and leaktight integrity and an appropriate material surveillance program for the reactor pressure vessel. The RCS high-point vents are considered part of the RCPB and should be inspected and tested periodically to ensure that the vents are able to perform their design function. 9. SRP Chapter 17 provides additional guidance and discussion concerning the technical rationale. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewers use the procedures below during the construction permit (CP) review to assure that the design criteria and bases and the preliminary design as set forth in the preliminary safety analysis report meet the acceptance criteria given in Subsection II. For operating license (OL) reviews, the reviewers use the procedures to verify that the initial design criteria and bases have been appropriately implemented in the final design as set forth in the final safety analysis report. The OL review also evaluates the proposed technical specifications to assure that they are adequate in regard to limiting conditions of operation and periodic surveillance testing. The reviewer will select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. For DC and COL applications submitted under Part 52, the level of information reviewed should be consistent with
