. 2 - April 1996 15.3.1-6 Section 15.3.1 – 15.3.2, the reactor coolant pressure needs to be analyzed to ensure that the pressure acceptance criterion is satisfied. Meeting the requirements of GDC 15 provides a level of assurance that the design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded for the anticipated occurrences involving loss of forced reactor coolant flow evaluated in this SRP section.41 c. Compliance with GDC 17 requires that onsite and offsite electrical power systems be provided to ensure that structures, systems, and components important to safety will perform their intended function. Each power system (assuming the other system is not functioning) shall provide sufficient capacity and capability to ensure that specified acceptable fuel design limits and design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded as a result of anticipated operational occurrences. GDC 17 is applicable to SRP Section 15.3.1-15.3.2 because this section reviews the analysis of a group of abnormal operating occurrences to which the GDC must be applied. Meeting the requirements of GDC 17 provides assurance that specified acceptable fuel design limits and design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded as a result of initiating events involving a decrease in flow in the reactor coolant system, concurrent with a loss of offsite power (LOOP).42 d. Compliance with GDC 26 requires that one of the reactivity control systems at nuclear power plants include control rods with the capability to control reactivity changes, thereby ensuring that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded under conditions of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. The design for this system must have an appropriate margin to accommodate malfunctions such as stuck rods. GDC 26 is applicable to this section because the reviewer analyzes anticipated operational occurrences involving loss of forced
